The Mäjilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan of the 4th convocation was the legislative term of the lower house of the Parliament of Kazakhstan. It existed from 2 September 2007 to 16 November 2011 when it was dissolved to make way for the snap legislative election which formed the 5th Mäjilis.[1][2] This was the only convocation that where the ruling party Nur Otan held all the directly elected seats due to other parties not passing the 7% threshold.[3]
The 4th Mäjilis' term started after the 2007 Kazakh legislative election where its predecessor 3rd Mäjilis was dissolved on 20 June 2007.[4] This was the first election where all the seats where to be allocated through proportional representation, while the 9 seats are reserved to the indirectly elected members of the Assembly of People due to the 2007 amendment to the Constitution of Kazakhstan.[5][6][7]
