[edit]

The Agrarian Party of Kazakhstan (QAP) was founded on 6 January 1999. The party's aim was to protect the social, cultural, civil, political, and economic rights of rural residents and agricultural workers to promote the strengthening of statehood within the nation. The party consisted of primarily agricultural workers and farmers, private farms, and rural companies and associations.[1]

The QAP was registered with the Ministry of Justice on 16 March 1999, and would undergo reregistration process again on 6 March 2003. For the entire time of the party's existence, its chairman, Romin Madinov, served as a deputy of the Mäjilis. The party offices in the 12 regions of the nations and some cities, including Astana and Almaty.[1][2] At its peak, the Agrarian Party had more than 90,000 members.[1] On 22 December 2006, the QAP was formally abolished and merged with the ruling Nur Otan party, led by President Nursultan Nazarbayev.[3][4]
