A multiparty system has been established in the Republic of Uzbekistan, and is being developed in accordance with modern requirements, as a result of large-scale political, socio-economical and legal reforms that were gradually carried out in the process of independent statehood of nearly 30 years.
As in all democratic countries, elections in the Republic of Uzbekistan are conducted in accordance with the universally recognized democratic standards on the basis of unity, equal, direct, alternative, open and transparent, multiparty ballot.
As of today, five political parties are operating on the basis of the multiparty system in the New Uzbekistan: the People's Democratic Party of Uzbekistan (1991), the Social Democratic Party of Uzbekistan "Adolat" (1995), the Democratic Party of Uzbekistan "Milliy Tiklanish" (1995), the Movement of Entrepreneurs and Businessmen also called the Liberal Democratic Party of Uzbekistan (2003) and the Ecological Party of Uzbekistan (2019).
Every political party, operating in modern Uzbekistan, endeavours to gain firm trust and voice of its electorate, to courageously advance program goals that serve the interests and aspirations of a broad constituency, to gain a majority in Parliament, and thus to be leading party to provide new proposals and practical solutions in order to develop the state and the society.
It can be stated that today the five political parties in our country have their distinct programs and electorates. Whereas in the past, particularly 15-20 years ago, there had been relative proximity in the program and in the electorate of the parties, their ideological and organizational activities are now improving, and their distinctive characteristics are becoming more and more noticeable. At the same time, the success of any political party is determined by the attractiveness and practical efforts of its political ideology.
The People's Democratic Party of Uzbekistan, the oldest party in the country, considers its electorate as a population in need of targeted social protection and social support from the state and society.
The Social Democratic Party of keonhacai "Adolat" considers its electorate as workers and laborers, highly qualified specialists, public servants, teachers, doctors, scientists and engineers and service workers.
The Democratic Party of Uzbekistan "Milliy Tiklanish" considers intellectuals, including workers in science and education, culture, arts and media, young people, the creators of our future, including scientists, educators and teachers, artists, athletes, tourism, representatives of the sphere of folk medicine and crafts, employees of citizens' self-governing bodies, including patriotic and creative people's representatives who support the priority idea of "Milliy tiklanishdan ― milliy yuksalish sari" (From national revival to national uplift) as their electorate.
The Movement of Entrepreneurs and Businessmen, also known as the Liberal Democratic Party of Uzbekistan, has been the leading political force in the country for the last 15-20 years. Its electorates are ownership layer, small businesses, entrepreneurs and businessmen, farmers, representatives of public organizations, innovative individuals and scientists in the sphere of manufacturing who seeks to enhance people's welfare by their entrepreneurship and initiative.
Founded in 2019, the electorate of the Ecological Party of Uzbekistan (formerly the Ecological Movement of Uzbekistan) are ecologists, biologists, chemists, geologists, irrigators, representatives of the agricultural sector, health workers, citizens who are not indifferent toward the protection of the environment and ensuring environmental sustainability, and socio-politically active citizens.
At the current new stage, political parties in Uzbekistan are actively carrying out operations to increase the number of their members, further improve their programs, consistently implement their goals and objectives in everyday life, and most importantly, consistently communicate with the party electorate and involve deeply and systematically into the electorate, actively seeking practical and organizational solutions to their problems, further ensuring their legitimate interests.
In conclusion, in Uzbekistan today, political parties are striving to reach a new level. In order to gain a stronger position and influence in the political and public life of the country, to strengthen the confidence of the electorate, represent and involve different social groups in society, to further enhance the ideological and programmatic, organizational and practical propaganda activities of political parties for the full implementation of the goals and objectives set out in the Charter and Action Plans, and directing all efforts toward the effective functioning of the entire hierarchical (top-down) system of the party structure.
