This study is devoted to the impact of Parliament on the sustainable socio-economic, political development of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The article addresses the most important issues of sustainable development, the formation and activities of the legislative branch of power, the importance of parliament during the transitional periods of political modernization of Kazakhstan. The authors tried to reveal the political and legal foundations of the functioning of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, to determine the most popular areas of its functioning in modern conditions of accelerating political processes in the country. It is likely that the upsurge in civic activity in Kazakhstan, mass rallies, as well as a change in the thirty-year rule of the first president will put the government in need of transforming the legislative branch of power. Against this background, the underestimation of the social and political significance of parliamentary institutions as one of the decisive conditions for the stable and sustainable development of society and the state stands out. The dependence of the sustainable development of Kazakhstan on the level of development of parliamentary relations seems to be a key point in understanding the essence of the modern political process, its internal determinants, requiring the disclosure of the relationship between elements of civil society and government structures. A comprehensive study of the relationship between socio-political stability and parliamentary institutions contributes to the further development of a scientific theory of the development of the individual, society and the state in the complex and contradictory conditions of the transit of supreme power, which Kazakhstan entered.
