"We see that in general the party field is beginning to move. A striking indicator of the changes that have begun is the initiative of the Adal party to unite with the Amanat party. Taking this opportunity, I would like to express my gratitude to the leaders and members of the Adal party ... I consider it right to support this initiative of the Adal party and to unite," Tokayev said during the XXIII extraordinary congress of Amanat.

The delegates of the extraordinary congress considered the issue of Adal joining the ruling party and voted in favor of this decision, according to announcement broadcast to journalists by Kazmediacenter tv and radio.
