THE IMPACT OF NEW COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES ON POLITICS: THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA BY POLITICAL PARTIES IN KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

This article analyzes the social media strategies of political parties in Kazakhstan. The study combines quantitative and qualitative data analyses to examine the frequency of words and thematic structures in the social media content of political parties. The findings show that topics such as election processes, parliamentary activities, and relationships with local communities are prominent in the social media strategies of the parties. The use of social media by the parties plays a critical role in increasing interaction with voters and effectively disseminating political messages. The article emphasizes the importance of social media in Kazakhstani politics and how these platforms are used by parties to reach their target audiences. In conclusion, the impact of social media platforms on political processes is significant not only as tools for disseminating information and facilitating interaction but also in shaping political campaigns and relationships with voters. The article demonstrates that the use of social media by political parties in Kazakhstan has a substantial effect on election outcomes and political perceptions.
