Asar (All Together) was a political party in Kazakhstan. At the last legislative elections, 19 September and 3 October 2004, the party won 11.4% of the popular vote and 4 out of 77 seats. Following calls from its leader Dariga Nazarbayeva for a united ruling party, and allegations that her father was becoming increasingly concerned by the group's independence, Asar merged with Otan
Famous quotes containing the word party:
“No political party can ever make prohibition effective. A political party implies an adverse, an opposing, political party. To enforce criminal statutes implies substantial unanimity in the community. This is the result of the jury system. Hence the futility of party prohibition.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
