The party is one of the country's five officially sanctioned political parties, along with the People's Democratic Party of Uzbekistan, the Uzbekistan Liberal Democratic Party, the Justice Social Democratic Party (also known as Adolat), and the Ecological Party of Uzbekistan.[2][3]
History
On June 3, 1995, the party was created by the decision of the founding congress of the Democratic Party of Uzbekistan "Milliy Tiklanish" (MTDP);[4] Aziz Kaiumov, director of the Institute of Manuscripts of the Academy of Sciences, was elected chairman. On 9 June the party was registered with the Ministry of Justice.[5] On June 10, 1995, the first issue of the party newspaper Milliy Tiklanish was published.[citation needed]
On December 28, 1998, the Self-Sacrifice National Democratic Party, or the National Democratic Party of Uzbekistan Fidokorlar (DP Fidokorlar), held its founding congress.[5] It merged with Milliy Tiklanish on June 20, 2008, forming the new Uzbekistan Milliy Tiklanish Democratic Party (O'zMTDP).[6][7][8] On August 11, 2008, the new party was registered with the Ministry of Justice.[citation needed]
Between 1996 and 2004, the chairman of the party's Central Council was writer Ibrokhim Gafurov, who was also editor-in-chief of the party newspaper. Khurshid Dustmuhammad was elected chairman of the Central Council at the 3rd MT congress on 31 October, 2004.[5] Alisher Qodirov became head of the party in May 2019 before becoming Deputy Speaker of the country's Legislative Chamber (Oliy Majlis) in June.[9]
In an analysis conducted May–June 2004, MTDP was found to have the most influence in the regions of Tashkent and Fergana.[10]
In August 2008, the party joined the "Democratic Bloc” in the Legislative Chamber, alongside the Justice Social Democratic Party (Adolat) and the Liberal Democratic Party.[11] In May 2025 it declared itself part of the "Progressive Bloc" alongside the Liberal Democratic Party, which holds the majority of legislative seats.[12]
Organization and membership
Since September 9, 2008, founding conferences of O'zMTDP and plenums of regional party organizations were held in the regions. They approved the composition of the Council, the Control and Audit Commission, the Executive Committee of the Council, and elected the Chairman of the Executive Committee and his deputies. In addition, founding conferences and plenums of district (city) party organizations were held, the composition of the Council and the Executive Committee of the Council was approved, and chairmen of the executive committee were elected.[citation needed]
In 2009, Milliy Tiklanish had 50,000 members, of which 25 percent were female.[13] This number increased to 185,000 in 2014.[14] As of April 1, 2022, the party had 358,377 members, of which 48% were young people and 44% were women. The party had 14 territorial organizations (Republic of Karakalpakstan, regions and the city of Tashkent), 175 district councils of 32 cities and 7,032 primary party organizations.[clarification needed][citation needed]
Ideology
Milliy Tiklanish is described as conservative and supporting patriotism,[14] initially founded by "members of the humanitarian intelligentsia" to initiate a revival of the Uzbekistan state and culture.[15][11][13] The party advocates a strong sense of Uzbek culture while seeking to build closer links with other states in Central Asia.[16] The party opposes the influence of Russia in the region and attacked the foundation of the Eurasian Economic Community on this basis.[17] The party also encourages the development of scientific and technical skills within Uzbekistan and the construction of a society based around a liberal market economy.[14][18]
Election results
In the 2004–05 Uzbek parliamentary election, the party won 11 out of 120 seats. The party's candidate for the 2007 Uzbek presidential election was Hurshid Dustmuhammad.[citation needed]
On December 27, 2009, 31 deputies were elected to the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis, and 954 to local Councils of People's Deputies.[citation needed] In 2014; that increased to 36 and 1,105 respectively.[citation needed] On December 24, 2019, O'zMTDP had 36 deputies elected to the Legislative Chamber and 1,266 deputies in the local Councils of People's Deputies.[citation needed]
