The Supreme Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан Республикасының Жоғарғы Кеңесі) was a unicameral legislative branch in Kazakhstan that existed from 1993 to 1995. The Supreme Council succeeded the Supreme Soviet of the Kazakh SSR after the new Constitution of Kazakhstan was adopted on 28 January 1993.[2] During this period, the Supreme Council had its members elected in the 1994 Kazakh legislative election which was held for the first time in post-Soviet Kazakhstan.[3] It existed to function until its dissolution on 11 March 1995 by a Presidential Decree after the Constitutional Court of Kazakhstan ruled in the favor Kazakhstani journalist Tatyana Kvyatkovskaya to nullify the results of the 1994 legislative election which she accused of being fraudulent.[4] The Supreme Council was eventually replaced by the Parliament of Kazakhstan in 1996 which was established after the 1995 Kazakh constitutional referendum.[5]
