The party’s philosophy is based on four key principles:

Solidarity and creativity — society should work together to create conditions for development. The power of ideas and values — politics should be guided by clear principles rather than changing circumstances. Meritocracy — people should achieve success through education, knowledge and hard work rather than personal connections or other factors. Network organization — citizens should have opportunities to unite and actively participate in public life. Aibek Dadebay elected party chairman

Delegates elected Aibek Dadebay, former head of the Executive Office of the President of Kazakhstan, as chairman of the new party.
