Tokayev’s Power Play in Kazakhstan | Miami News
Description
Kazakhstan’s parliamentary election marks a major power move by President Tokayev, who’s steering the country toward tighter control with sweeping constitutional changes that dissolve the old two-chamber system and boost his appointive authority. His party, Adilet, is poised to dominate the new single-chamber parliament, while rising inflation, recent tax hikes, and memories of deadly 2022 protests fuel public unease. Amid growing repression—journalists like Lukpan Akhmedyarov face prison for reporting on citizens fighting in Ukraine—the state is silencing dissent through media crackdowns and heavy pro-presidential advertising, making the election outcome seem all but certain.
