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:
“... the idea of a classless society is ... a disastrous mirage which cannot be maintained without tyranny of the few over the many. It is even more pernicious culturally than politically, not because the monolithic state forces the party line upon its intellectuals and artists, but because it has no social patterns to reflect.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
