Discussing the elections of the deputies of the Jogorku Kenesh, he expressed regret over the low voter turnout in the elections.
“I asked the hall to raise their hands those delegates who voted in the last elections. Everyone without exception raised their hands, which was also captured in the live broadcast. I had warned in advance about the video recording. However, I was surprised and a bit upset that some delegates, elected from their regions, openly lied,” he noted.
The Central Election Commission confirmed that 71 delegates of the kurultai did not participate in the voting. “I do not intend to put them in an awkward position and name them individually. Each of them already knows the truth,” added Sadyr Japarov.
