On 20 November 2022 a snap presidential election returned Kassym-Jomart Tokayev with 81.31 percent to a single seven-year term running to 2029. ODIHR’s 14 July 2023 final report did not treat the ballot as a genuine contest of power.

Context

He ran. The CEC tabulated. ODIHR observed. This is not a rebate of January 2022.

Referendum 5 June; election 20 November 2022; ODIHR final 14 July 2023. Keep Snap election returns Tokayev with 81.31 percent to a single seven-year term on 2022-11-20 separate from neighbouring succession, CSTO, shoot-to-kill, 238-list, and snap-election instruments.

The president of Kazakhstan is head of state and commander-in-chief. He can declare an emergency, invite a CSTO contingent, and order lethal force. He does not write ODIHR final reports, does not sit as a UNGA teller, and a Prosecutor-General list is not converted here into a unique UCDP integer.
