During the Q&A session with the delegates, one of them raised the topic of elections. The president noted that he observes low citizen participation in the elections for the deputies of the Jogorku Kenesh. He urged the delegates who voted in the recent elections to raise their hands.
All present delegates raised their hands, which was recorded live. Japarov had previously announced that video recording was taking place.
However, he was disheartened that some delegates representing their regions had lied. The Central Election Commission confirmed that 71 delegates did not participate in the voting. The president stated that he would not name them to avoid putting them in an awkward position, adding that each of them is aware of the situation," he wrote.
