On November 20, 2022, the extraordinary elections of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan were held, which Mr. Tokayev decided to hold ahead of time, initiating early elections and extending the term of office of the president once for 7 years only based on the results of these elections, which he won with an expected result of 81.31% of votes.

On November 21, 2022, OSCE Missionaries reported that there was no competition in the last presidential elections in Kazakhstan. Mission Statement The OSCE is published on the organization’s website.

What did the OSCE say?

«The early elections of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan on November 20 were held in a political environment devoid of competition, and despite effective preparations, the elections emphasized the need for further reforms to bring the relevant legislation in line with OSCE commitments to ensure genuine pluralism. The current president ran as a joint candidate from all parliamentary parties, and, in fact, he was not seriously challenged during a restrained election campaign,» the statement reads.

At eight percent of the sites observed by the mission representatives, «a number of presumably identical signatures» were established, at three percent of the sites — voting by groups (factories, factories, organizations belonging to or related to the Nazarbayev-Tokayev clan). Representatives of the mission also reported on the signs of ballot stuffing, proxy voting and multiple voting in some cases.

In a large number of cases, it was recorded how citizens photographed their ballots, which, in turn, obviously served in the future as proof of the vote for their employers.

The OSCE mission also negatively assessed the counting of votes in more than half of the observations, and the summing up process, as indicated in the statement, lacked transparency and openness.

The report noted that the OSCE mission negatively assessed the counting of votes at sixty-five out of one hundred and eleven polling stations observed due to numerous procedural errors and omissions. Representatives of the mission could not observe the procedure of counting votes at more than a third of polling stations without restrictions. Civilian observers were unaware of the vote counting procedures in 47 cases, which undermined and undermines the transparency of the entire vote counting process.

Ballots were not counted before sorting by candidate in sixty-seven cases, and the number of ballots from all ballot boxes was greater than the number of voters who voted in thirteen cases.

Representatives of the OSCE mission noted restrictions on freedom of speech in Kazakhstan and the possibility of holding peaceful assemblies. This «narrowed the space for critical statements.» And also the fact that independent candidates are not allowed to run for president.

Kazakhstan’s regulatory framework does not fully comply with international standards and OSCE commitments regarding democratic elections, the statement said.

«In light of the upcoming parliamentary elections in the near future, there is an opportunity to resolve the issues mentioned in today’s statement, including regarding the procedures for counting votes and summarizing the results of the vote to ensure its transparency and honesty,» summed up the head of the OSCE mission Ursula Gatzek.

As you can see, the people of Kazakhstan remained under the dictatorial regime of Tokayev-Nazarbayev for at least another more 7 years. A regime that will also continue the course of personal enrichment of the clan, as well as support the regime of the bloody V. Putin, who is waging a genocidal war against Ukraine, telling everyone how our relations with an aggressive neighbor have cooled, but exporting hundreds and hundreds of times more goods every month, including for the military-industrial complex of the Russian The Federation, which makes our country a participant, an ally of Russian Federation. Wait info about the upcoming union, which was planned back in 2006, in the next article on our website. Website of freedom of speech in the name of truly Independent Kazakhstan!
