Kazakhstan parliament begins rebranding social media pages to Kurultai
This digest was compiled by AI from multiple sources — links to the originals are below.
Kazakhstan's parliament has started renaming its official social media accounts to 'Kurultai' following the dissolution of the Mazhilis and Senate on July 1. The official Telegram channel now uses the new name, while other platforms and the parliamentary website still display the old 'Mazhilis and Senate' branding. The digital transition is proceeding gradually.
Physical Rebranding
On July 1, workers removed the signs for the Mazhilis and Senate from the parliament building in Nur-Sultan and replaced them with 'Kurultai.' This physical change marked the official dissolution of Kazakhstan’s two-chamber legislature. The gesture preceded the gradual online renaming now unfolding.
Online Transition
The parliament’s official Telegram channel now carries the name 'Kurultai.' Other social media pages still display 'Mazhilis and Senate,' and the parliamentary website continues to describe itself as bicameral. Orda.kz reports that full digital rebranding will take additional time.
Election Timeline
The former parliament ceased its powers on July 1. A single-chamber Kurultai with 145 deputies will be elected on August 23. The renaming of public-facing assets aligns with the constitutional transition to the new legislative body.
What's Next
The full digital rebranding is likely to be completed in the coming weeks as the August 23 election approaches. It remains unclear whether residual online pages will be archived or fully redirected under the new Kurultai identity.
