Ideology.
At a press conference on 19 June 2019, Respublika representatives called for a review of the 2019 Kazakh presidential election, the release of imprisoned election protestors, and for Nur-Sultan's name to be restored to "Astana", as it was prior to March 2019. About the possible entry into the newly created National Council of Public Confidence, Respublika activists put conditions, mainly the implementation of the unconditional priority of the Constitution over other laws and the abolition of all articles, laws and by-laws that restrict the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens.
Actions.
In July 2019, when the National Council of Public Confidence was created by the Kazakh authorities as a compromise in relation to the presidential election protests, Respublika was not offered any seats on the 44-person council. Orynbetova stated that Respublika had communicated its "conditions for dialogue" to the authorities. 
The Respublika on 16 September 2019 announced its intent to form a political party according to the activist Gülim Orazbaeva by attracting 40,000 people across regions.
On 9 November 2019, 24 Respublika activists protested in a park in Nur-Sultan against the presidential system of government after gaining permission from the authorities.
In early 2020, Orynbetova stated that lack of funds was the root problem of transforming the organisation into a political party. The Respublika considered the possibility of forming a political alliance with the opposition Nationwide Social Democratic Party (JSDP) party although because the Respublika wasn't fully guarantee to have representation in the national and local legislatures by the JSDP, the organisation refused to contest in the upcoming 2021 legislative elections and instead observe the electoral process with Erdindik Qanaty and Youth Information Service of Kazakhstan organisations.
