Kazakhstan Parliamentary Election Cement President Tokayev’s Leadership
Kazakhstan held snap parliamentary elections on Sunday, March 19. The elections further strengthen President Kassyim-Jomart Tokayev’s leadership and power since he assumed a new term of presidency late last year. The elections come as part of Tokayev’s ambitious plan to modernize Kazakhstan and turn it into a “model nation” for Central Asia called New Kazakhstan. The snap polls are the first step in his five-year program, which includes constitutional reforms, economic development, and social reforms. Tokayev has chosen not to lead the ruling party, the rebranded Amanat, but it is certain to form the core of his support base in the legislature.
