AkZhol was formed from out of the split of the Democratic Choice of Kazakhstan (DCK) movement after its two other leaders were sentenced to prison on charges widely viewed as politically motivated.
AkZhol won representation only through the party-list voting, with one of the ten deputies elected by that method; Otan took seven of the others, with Asar and AIST each also taking one.
However, the extension of AkZhol's or DCK's influence and the prospect for ultimate political reform are complicated by the fact that procedures for political decision-making remain far from routinized and rationalized.
AkZhol, a centrist opposition party and one-time government ally, has announced plans to challenge the results of Kazakhstans recent parliamentary elections and to ally with two other opposition parties in a national protest against the vote.
AkZhol (Bright Path) trailed Otan with just over 12 percent of the vote, followed by Asar (All Together) with 11.38 percent and the lesser known pro-government bloc Aist, or Agrarian-Industrial Union of Workers, with 7.07 percent of the vote.
AkZhol has also announced plans to request that the courts bring a criminal case against the Central Election Commission, members of the presidential administration and government officials for the provinces and cities of Astana and Almaty for the conduct of the elections.
