The Communist Party of Kazakhstan (QKP; {{langx|kk|Қазақстан Коммунистік партиясы}}, {{lang|kk-latn|Qazaqstan Kommunistık Partiasy}}) was the ruling and sole legal political party in the Kazakh SSR.[https://www.nur.kz/878575-kommunisticheskuyu-partiyu-kazakhstana.html Коммунистическую партию Казахстана ликвидировали по решению суда]

Origin

The Communist Party of Kazakhstan was founded 1936, when Kazakhstan was granted a Union Republic status within the Soviet Union. The Communist Party of Kazakhstan had been a branch of Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) until the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

April 24, 1990 from Art. 6 of the Constitution of the Kazakh SSR, the provision on the monopoly of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan on power was excluded.[https://online.zakon.kz/Document/?doc_id=1000133 Закон Казахской ССР от 24 апреля 1990 г. «Об учреждении поста Президента Казахской ССР и внесении изменений и дополнений в Конституцию (Основной Закон) Казахской ССР»]

Post-Soviet restructuring

The 18th Congress of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan, held on September 7, 1991, decided to dissolve the party.[https://www.garant.ru/products/ipo/prime/doc/10006113/ Постановление Конституционного Суда РФ от 30 ноября 1992 г. N 9-П] The Socialist Party was created on its basis.[https://web.archive.org/web/20211019104007/https://yeltsin.ru/day-by-day/1991/09/10/5633/ Компартии Казахстана дали шанс уйти красиво, и она его использовала]{{cite book |last=Ro'i |first=Yaacov |date=2004 |title=Democracy and Pluralism in Muslim Eurasia |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tvCQAgAAQBAJ&dq=socialist%20party%20of%20kazakhstan%20september%201991&pg=PA157 |publisher=Frank Cass |page=157 |isbn=9781135775766 }}

Nursultan Nazarbayev, chairman of the party, resigned after the failure of the August putsch in Moscow.[https://web.archive.org/web/20211019144655/https://yeltsin.ru/day-by-day/1991/08/29/5141/ Назарбаев вышел из партии] Dissatisfied members of the old Communist Party recreated the Communist Party of Kazakhstan in October 1991 at the 19th Congress of the party.
