Serikbolsyn Abdildauly Abdildin (Kazakh: Серікболсын Әбділдаұлы Әбділдин, Serıkbolsyn Äbdıldaūly Äbdıldin, [sʲerɘkˈboɫsɯnæbdɘldɑˈo̙ɫəæbdɘldin]; 25 November 1937 – 31 December 2019) was a Kazakh economist, politician, First Secretary of the Communist Party from 1996 to 2010, member of the Mazhilis from 1999 to 2004 and a candidate in the 1999 presidential election. He is often described as "patriarch" for the formation of parliamentarism and the first-drafted Kazakh Constitution in early years of independence. While proclaiming himself as a Communist, Abdildin was vivid supporter for democracy and has called for reforms for a multi-party system with a rule of law.[1]
Äbdildin began his career as an agriculturist until becoming involved in politics from serving in Soviet state bodies in Kazakhstan to eventually becoming the head of the Supreme Soviet of the Kazakh SSR where he was involved in the drafting of the new post-independent Constitution. After the dissolution of the legislature, he joined the opposition amidst President Nursultan Nazarbayev's increase of executive powers by leading the Communist Party of Kazakhstan and has worked in various organisations and movements aiming at reforming Kazakhstan's political system into democratic form of governance until retiring from politics in 2010.
He continued in engaging towards scientific and teaching activities until passing away in late 2019 at the age of 82.
