Representatives of Kazakhstan\'s pro-government Otan (Fatherland) party will have no less than 60% of the seats in Majilis, the lower house of parliament, said a party official. \"In total, we hope to win no less than 60% of the seats in the parliamentary elections by party lists and in single-mandate districts,\" Otan\'s vice chairman Amangeldy Yermegiyayev told a news conference in Astana. Otan was established in 1999, and Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev is its ideological leader. Kazakhstan\'s parliamentary elections were held on September 19. Yermegiyayev said that Otan won in 30 of the 40 electoral districts where party representatives ran (75%). Two candidate were disqualified by election commissions and seven others quit the race. Otan candidates will continue the race in 18 of the 22 electoral districts where run-off elections will be held. Otan candidates were the only winners in four of these 18 electoral districts, he said. \"Judging by all accounts, Otan will represent a majority in the future parliament and is likely to have more than 50% of the seats,\" Yermegiyayev said. The Kazakh Central Elections Commission has yet to announce preliminary returns in the parliamentary elections. (Interfax-Kazakhstan)
