Career

Rukhaniyat party

In 1995, Altynshash Jaganova founded and led the Rukhaniyat Party. On 30 October 2003, it was registered by the Ministry of Justice of Kazakhstan. The aim of the new party was to promote civil and interethnic harmony. At the seventh party congress in March 2010, she assumed her position as party leader. She commented on her departure from the post of party leader:

"I thought about it a lot, but nevertheless, I decided that the party should be led by young people. Our young people have long ripened, and not only ripened but also overripe. And we did not give the young people the opportunity to develop, we did not give way to them. But life changes, so we must change. Therefore, Serikzhan Mambetalin was elected chairman of the party"

According to the new leader of Rukhaniyat, Serikzhan Mambetalin, Altynshash Jaganova became an honorary member of the party:

“We decided to award A. Jaganova the title of honorary founder of the Rukhaniyat party. Our young people are grateful for her support, and we think that she will always be with us and give us advice”

In December 2011, she was excluded from the party for slandering its leadership and was also accused of losing ties with the party and denying its ideology. Earlier, Altynshash Jaganova declared the illegality of nominating candidates for deputies of the parliament from the Rukhaniyat Party, referring to the fact that she held the seal and documents of the party. In 2012, during the congress of Rukhaniyat, Altynshash Jaganova was again elected as the chairperson of the party.
