Adal (Template:Lang-kk, lit. 'Fair'), known as Birlik (Template:Lang-kk, lit. 'Unity') until 2020, is a registered political party in Kazakhstan that was formed as a result of merger between Rukhaniyat Party and Democratic Party Adilet on 26 April 2013. The party is led by Serik Sultangali.
History
On 26 April 2013, two parties Adilet and Rukhaniyat made a decision to merge with each other to form Birlik (meaning Unity).[1] The party for the first time participated in the 2016 Kazakh legislative election where it won 0.29% of the vote, failing to reach the 7% electoral threshold, thus unable to win any seats in the Mazhilis.[2]
The party never nominated its candidate for the 2015 or 2019 presidential elections.[citation needed]
On 5 November 2020, at the political council of Birlik, the party announced its decision rename itself into Adal (meaning Honesty) due to an experiment carried out by sociologists in which the variant "Adal" was preferred more.[3] The party was re-registered by the Ministry of Justice on 11 November.[4]
Ideology
Although the party has no clear and formulated ideology, it ran on a platform that was focused on the environment and social sphere during the 2016 legislative elections.[5]
