Kazakhstan\'s Justice Ministry has reregistered the Kazakh Communist Party, party leader Serikbolsyn Abdildin announced at a press conference on 21 March. The reregistration procedure, required of all political parties in Kazakhstan under a controversial 2002 law adopted, was \"difficult\" for the Communists, according to Abdildin. He had earlier attributed the difficulty to questions about the number of party members. According to the new law, political parties must prove they have at least 50,000 members in order to be registered. The Communists are the fourth party to complete the reregistration procedure. The pro-government Otan Party, the Aq Zhol Party, and the Civic Party have also been reregistered. (Interfax-Kazakhstan)
