The Coalition of Democratic Forces (Kazakh: Демократиялық күштер коалициясы, romanized: Demokratialyq küşter koalitsiasy, DKK; Russian: Коалиция демократических сил, romanized: Koaliciya demokraticheskikh sil, KDS) is a Kazakh opposition political alliance that was founded on 5 September 2022.[1][2]

The DKK opposed 2022 snap presidential elections and instead promised to organise protest rallies, but in parallel to preparing a single candidate for the presidential race in case the elections would not be postponed.[3]
