The Kostanay Regional Mäslihat (Kazakh: Қостанай облыстық мәслихаты) is a unicameral legislative body of the Kostanay Region which was formed in 1993.
Convening in the region administrative center of Kostanay, the Mäslihat consists of 33 members of three parties in which the Nur Otan (NO) controls the supermajority of 27 seats. The Mäslihat is in charge of implementing local policies to the interests of the general public of the region with accordance of the legislation of Kazakhstan such as the approval of plans, economic and social programs for the development of the region of the local budget and reporting its implementation, including budget programs.
Since January 2012, Sailaubek Eşanov (NO) has been serving as the Mäslihat's Secretary.
History
On 7 March 1994, the first elections to the Kustanay Regional Mäslihat-Meeting of Deputies were held where members were elected through a secret ballot in a five-year term after the enactment of the law in December 1993 (where local councils were reformed into maslihats). In 1st Convocation term from 1994 to 1999, a total of 63 members of the Regional Mäslihat served their posts. During that period, the region was renamed into Kostanay and became merged with abolished Turgay Region on 17 June 1997 as a result of changes that were implemented by a Presidential Decree, making the Regional Mäslihat body adopted the newly changed name.
At the 2021 Kostanay Regional Mäslihat election, three parties gain seats with Nur Otan (NO) sweeping a majority of 27 followed by the Ak Zhol Democratic Party (AJ) and Auyl People's Democratic Patriotic Party (AUYL) whom each earned three seats. The result of electoral changes occurred in the aftermath of the newly enacted law in 2018 when the centralised Kazakh Parliament approved of a bill that would allow for local legislative bodies to allocate its seats through party-list proportional representation.
