Four parties share the rest. Auyl takes 10 seats on 6.26%, Respublica 9 on 5.56%, Ak Zhol 8 on 5.21% and the Social Democrats 8 on 5.11%. Two parties fell below the 5% threshold: the People's Party at 3.11% and Baytaq at 1.07%. Against all parties: 2.51%.
The gap between 71.17% of votes and 75.9% of seats is the threshold at work. Between them the two parties that failed and the against-all column hold 6.69% of the ballot, and none of it converts into a seat. All five that cleared then divide the whole chamber in proportion to their own shares, so the largest share gains most from the division. The rule did the concentrating.
This chamber is new. It replaces the Senate and the Mazhilis with one house of 145 members elected for five years from a single nationwide list, and it has no single-mandate seats at all. Amanat, the party that ran the old Mazhilis, merged into Adilet on 14 June and did not stand.
Turnout closed at 74.08%, or 9,351,539 votes from a register of 12,623,289. CEC chairman Nurlan Abdirov announced the distribution.

The clock now runs on the government. Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov's cabinet resigns to the newly convened Kurultai, and the first session has to be called within 30 days of the publication of results. The vice-president's name is still missing. Tokayev said on Sunday it would come within a week or ten days, which puts the outside edge of that window at 2 September.
