According to him, with such "legal manipulations" in place, it is difficult to expect high activity from citizens during the elections. Bekeshev noted that in this situation, voters and candidates find themselves at a disadvantage, as the election results can be canceled, revised, and reinstated.
"The election results can be canceled, repeat elections can be announced, results can be suspended and then reaffirmed," he pointed out in his post.
Furthermore, the deputy emphasized that in such cases, responsibility should be clearly defined; otherwise, it will appear that the responsibility lies with the voters who "trusted the elections and came to vote," as well as with the candidates who spent resources to participate in the elections.
"In this situation, it is necessary to hold specific individuals accountable. We need to find a 'scapegoat'; otherwise, it will turn out that only those who believed in the elections and participated in them are to blame," he noted.
In light of the above, Bekeshev announced his intention to exclude from the election bill provisions that encourage citizens to participate in voting. In his opinion, such measures are "unacceptable and will not yield results."
It is worth reminding that earlier, the Central Election Commission reviewed the results of the early elections in the multi-mandate district No. 13. At the meeting on February 13, the CEC canceled the previous decision and recognized the elections as valid.
As a result, the election outcomes were deemed valid for candidates Aibek Altynbekov, Talant Mamytov, and Aigul Karabekova. However, the voting results for Baktybek Sydykov were declared invalid. The decision to hold repeat elections scheduled for March 1 was also canceled.
This decision was made following appeals from candidates and consideration of new data related to a criminal case, which established that violations concerning the placement of phones at polling stations were committed by supporters of one of the candidates.
Previously, on December 3, 2025, the CEC annulled the registration of all 14 candidates in district No. 13 due to identified violations related to the installation of cameras by observers at polling stations, which violated the secrecy of the vote. Subsequently, repeat elections were scheduled, in which 23 candidates registered.
