Candidates from Kazakhstan's Әділет party visited Zhanaozen on July 27 to meet oil workers and youth. They presented the party's 'Әділетті болашақ үшін' platform, emphasizing deep oil processing, AI skills, and dual education. The meetings occurred at NGDY-2 of Ozenmunaigaz and the Bolashaq Sarayi youth palace.
Oil Industry Shift
At the NGDY-2 production base of Ozenmunaigaz, which operates the giant Uzen and Karamandybas fields, candidates stressed a move from extraction to high-value refining. 'If earlier the main task was oil production, today deep processing and advanced technologies come first,' they noted. The Mangystau region, home to Zhanaozen, remains a pillar of Kazakhstan's hydrocarbons sector.
Youth and Digital Skills
Addressing young people at Bolashaq Sarayi, candidate Aibek Dadebai said AI training should start in school and that the AI-Sana programme will equip all graduates with modern tech skills. Laura Karabasova added that digital competences are not enough — she said at least 45% of colleges nationwide must switch to a dual education model by 2031, linking study to factory-floor practice.
Social Welfare Reform
Candidate Ayat Sugirbai outlined proposals to overhaul social support. He called for a unified digital welfare platform, proactive benefit assignment, and a family wellbeing assessment system that promotes self-reliance rather than dependency. 'Social assistance should unlock potential, not create dependence,' he said, stressing respect for working people.
What's Next
The Әділет campaign headquarters is to continue its regional tour across Kazakhstan. Whether the party's deep-processing and AI-education pledges will resonate with voters or face pragmatic hurdles remains unclear.
