Kazakhstan Parliament chambers to hold joint session June 26

Kazakhstan's Parliament chambers are set to hold a joint session on Friday, June 26, in Astana, as ordered by Mazhilis Chairman Yerlan Koshanov. The specific agenda for this upcoming meeting has not yet been announced.

The constitution mandates joint sessions for specific parliamentary functions. The previous joint session convened on May 20, during which deputies approved six constitutional laws in their second reading. These laws concern the President, the Kurultai and its deputies, the Kazakhstan Khalyk Kenesi, the status of the capital, and administrative-territorial structure.

These legislative actions are in preparation for Kazakhstan's new constitution, which is scheduled to come into effect on July 1, 2026. Under the newly adopted framework, the Kurultai will succeed the current bicameral Parliament. Elections for deputies of this new unicameral legislature are planned for August.
