The Nur-Sultan City Mäslihat (Kazakh: Нұр-Сұлтан қалалық мәслихаты) is a unicameral legislature of Kazakhstan’s capital city of Nur-Sultan. The councillors of the City Mäslihat are elected concurrently with the MP's of the Mazhilis.

Composition

The City Mäslihat is composed of 31 councillors who are elected through proportional representation.[1] The law was approved on 29 June 2018 through a constitutional amendment and came into force starting from 1 January 2019.

History

The Akmola City Mäslihat was established on 10 December 1993 after the Supreme Council of Kazakhstan adopted the law "On local representative and executive bodies of the Republic of Kazakhstan", which made significant changes to the name and structure of local state bodies.[2][3] The city held the elections on 10 March 1994 to elect the councillors of the 1st convocation of the City Mäslihat.[4] Until 2021, the councillors represented single-member constituency and were elected by a secret ballot every 5 years according to the Clause 2 of Article 86 of the Constitution of Kazakhstan, Section VIII "Local state government and self-government".[5]

In 1998, the city changed its name after it became the new capital of Kazakhstan, making it the Astana City Mäslihat a municipal legislature.

After President Nursultan Nazarbayev's resignation in March 2019, Astana was renamed into Nursultan with City Mäslihat councillors unanimously supporting the change by having the name including hyphen between Nur and Sultan.[6]
