Reformation
DCK was disbanded in February 2005 before the presidential elections. But the party-led coalition of opposition forces, For a Just Kazakhstan, nominated former deputy chair of the OTAN party, Zharmakhan Tuyakbay as a presidential candidate in the elections held on 4 December 2005. Tuyakbay received 6% of the votes. DCK was split in the spring of 2002 as a group of moderate members, including Oraz Zhandosov, Bulat Abilov and Alikhan Baimenov established the center- right Ak Zhol Party. Later, Ak Zhol also gave birth to another party, Naghyz Ak Zhol, led by Bulat Abilov, Altynbek Sarsenbaev and Oraz Zhandosov. DCK leaders have been trying to reregister the party with a new name Alga! Kazakhstan.
