It became known when the parliamentary elections will take place

By his decree No. 882 dated December 4, 2024, the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon has set the date for the parliamentary elections in Tajikistan.

Thus, by this decree, President Rahmon has scheduled the elections for deputies of the new convocation of the Majlisi Namoyandagon Majlisi Oli (lower house of parliament) of Tajikistan and the Majlises of people’s deputies of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, regions, the city of Dushanbe, cities, and districts for March 2, 2025.

The elections for members of the new convocation of the Majlisi Milli Majlisi Oli (upper house of parliament) of Tajikistan are set for March 28, 2025.

This decree also appoints elections for deputies in the jamoats of towns and villages for March 2, 2025.

At the same time, critics argue that no opposition party is participating in the parliamentary elections. All parties from which candidates for parliament are nominated effectively support the ruling party.

Critics of Rahmon’s regime question what the point is of holding parliamentary elections if there is no opposition political party or group in the country. In particular, it is known that the election results are already clear, and there is no need to spend huge amounts of money from the state budget on conducting meaningless elections.
