Asar Republican Party (Kazakh: «Асар» Республикалық партиясы, Russian: Республиканская партия «Асар») was a political party in Kazakhstan, founded on 25 October 2003.[1] It was headed by Dariga Nazarbayeva, the eldest daughter of then-president of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev.[1][2] In January 2004, the Asar parliamentary faction was created, consisting of 7 senators and 3 Mazhilis deputies, not all of whom were members of the Asar party.[2] In the 2004 Kazakh legislative election, the party won 11.4% of the popular vote and 4 out of 77 seats in the Mazhilis.[3][4] Following calls from its leader Dariga Nazarbayeva for a united ruling party,[5] and allegations that her father (president of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev) was becoming increasingly concerned by the group's independence,[citation needed] Asar merged with Otan on 4 July 2006.[6] The merger process was completed in September of that year.[7]
