The Communist People's Party of Kazakhstan ( Kazakh Қазақстан коммунистік халық партия (ҚКХП) , Russian Коммунистическая народная партия Казахстана (КНПК) ) is a political party in Kazakhstan .
history
The Communist People's Party of Kazakhstan emerged in 2004 as a split from the Communist Party of Kazakhstan , which has since been banned. After an internal party dispute over the occupation of the post of party secretary, around 15,000 members left the party and founded the Communist People's Party. It was officially registered on June 21, 2004.
In the 2004 parliamentary elections, she was in direct competition with the Communist Party and was only able to win around two percent of the votes, and clearly missed her entry into the Mäschilis , the lower house of the Kazakh parliament. In the 2005 presidential election , the party put up Jerassyl Abylqasymov, its own candidate, who only achieved 0.34 percent.
In March 2007, the People's Communist Party and Communist Party announced their intention to seek reunification. The Communist People's Party gave up this project, however, because there would have been too great political differences between the two parties. In the parliamentary elections in 2007, the party was unable to overcome the seven percent hurdle and only achieved an election result of 1.29 percent. Since the Communist Party was banned from participating in the 2012 parliamentary elections , the Communist People's Party was able to win seats in the Maschilis for the first time. With a result of 7.19 percent, the party put seven MPs in this legislative period. In the 2016 election she was able to achieve a similar result with 7.14 percent.
