The repeal of Article 6 of the Constitution of the USSR in March 1990, which gave the Communists a monopoly of power, on the leading and guiding role of the CPSU, was the most important step towards a multi-party structure in domestic political life. In the same year, new parties began to be formed throughout the Soviet Union. For the first time in our country, the National Independence Party \"Alash\", the National Democratic Party \"Zheltoksan\" and the Social Democratic Party of Kazakhstan announced the start of their work. The law on public associations, adopted in June 1991, contributed to the development of multiparty, and the August \"rebellion\", which shocked Society, added additional momentum to this process. In September 1991, the Communist Party of the Kazakh SSR (CPC) left the CPSU at its next Congress and was reorganized into the Socialist Party of Kazakhstan (CPC). The program of the new party was based on social democratic principles, and its co-chairmen were Yermukhambet Ertysbayev and Anatoly Antonov. The CPC, which received its possessions on the account of the successor of the Communist Party, retained its organizational structure in all districts and had its own mass media, became the most mass political organization in the country in the first years of independence, but ceased to exist in the mid-1990s. In those years, the Republican Party of Kazakhstan \"Azat\" also left political life, which in 1991 formed into a civil movement aimed at creating a Democratic National State of the same name. In October 1991, the Constituent Congress of the \"National Congress of Kazakhstan\'\' was held, which was a state of political, ideological and legal and social orientation. However, this party did not last long. N. Nazarbayev became the political leader of the party \"Union of people\'s unity of Kazakhstan\'\', which was formed in February 1993 and reorganized two years later into the party \"people\'s unity of Kazakhstan\", and S. Abdrakhmanov was elected the head of the political council. It should be noted that N. Nazarbayev came to power long before the creation of this party. In the same 1993, the Communists of Kazakhstan convened the XIX Congress of the CPC in order to restore the Communist Party of Kazakhstan. In February 1994, the recovered party was registered and began its activities, and in October B. Tolepbayev became the CCP Chief Secretary. The People\'s Cooperative Party of Kazakhstan (CPC, leader U. Sarsenov), founded in 1994, has chosen to protect the interests of rural residents and cooperatives as the main item of its program. The modernization party of Kazakhstan (A. Zhaganova), founded in January 1995, relied on a low-income and insufficiently protected group of residents. In July of the same year, the Democratic Party of Kazakhstan (co -- chairmen -- T. Gugeev and A. Gugeev) chose as its main task to support the policy pursued by the state. Sarsenbayev), and in September the Republican political Labor Party of Kazakhstan (U. Zholdasbekov) was established. As the successor of the socio - political Association\" union of Engineers of Kazakhstan\", he primarily represented the interests of the technical intelligentsia. Such was the political and party landscape of Kazakhstan in the mid-1990s. Although of a different nature, most of the new parties mainly expressed their commitment to the principles of democracy and supported the direction of strengthening independence. In March 2002, the Constituent Congress of the Social Democratic Party of Kazakhstan \"Auyl\" was held, the chairman of which was elected academician, Deputy G. Kaliyev. In July, the \"party of patriots of Kazakhstan\" was established, and a well-known politician, previously a presidential candidate, G. Kassymov, was appointed as the chairman. In November 2001, on the initiative of a group of officials of the public Association\" democratic choice of Kazakhstan\", with the support of entrepreneurs, the Constituent Congress was held. In March 2002, a group of members of the \"DDT\" broke up and formed the\" Ak Zhol \" party. In April 2003, the Asar party was formed, and Dariga Nazarbayeva, the daughter of then president N. Nazarbayev, was elected chairman. In July 2006, the next congress of this party decided to join the Otan Party. Also in April 2003, the Constituent Congress of the Rukhaniyat party was held, the chairman of which was A. Zhaganova. In February 2004, the founding congress of the people\'s party\" democratic choice of Kazakhstan \" was held. Due to a number of disagreements in the Communist Party of Kazakhstan, some of the funders decided to create a separate party organization. In April 2004, the Congress of the Communist people\'s party of Kazakhstan (CCP) was held, and V. Kosarev was elected first secretary. In April 2004, the founding congress of the Democratic Party of Kazakhstan was convened. Its leader was M. Narikbayev. In 2006, the name of the party changed to the Democratic Party \"Adilet\". In September 2006, the founding congress of the National Social Democratic Party was held. A big event on the party square of Kazakhstan took place on December 22, 2006. At The X Congress of the Otan Party, it was decided that it would unite with the Civil and Agrarian parties and would henceforth be called the people\'s Democratic Party\" Nur Otan\". From that moment on, real centrism was formed in the authorities. In December 2008, the Majilis amended the law \"on political parties\". According to the same changes, the required number of party supporters for registration was reduced from 50 thousand people to 40 thousand, and the regional limit -- from 700 to 600 people. The deadline for submitting documents for registration has been extended from two to four months.
