The Constitution provides that after the elections “the Jogorku Kenesh shall assemble for its first session not later than 15 days after the results of elections are defined” (Article 71, para 1). The challenged constitutional law establishes that new elections should be called by 1 June 2021, which is up to 8 months after the end of the mandate of the outgoing legislature: such a delay is longer than the average and should be supported by special justifications and extraordinary circumstances.
