Background edit
On 21 October 2020, election date was scheduled for the Aktobe Regional Mäslihat along with other local races.[1] This came following the implementation of the law in 2018 which allowed for the local mäslihat seats to be elected through party-list proportional representation.
At the Nur Otan's party conference held on 17 November 2020, a party-list consisting of 50 candidates to the mäslihat were approved.[2] On 8 December 2020, Arkadiy Ni, the Regional Mäslihat councillor and candidate for the Nur Otan party was arrested on the suspicion of committing a criminal offense against a person. As a result, he was expelled from the party.[3][4]
