FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda People in Kazakhstan are heading to the polls on Sunday. The parliamentary election was scheduled for April, but President Nazarbayev dissolved the one-party parliament in the autumn and brought the date forward.
The elections come a month after deadly riots in the city of Zhanaozen, where a state of emergency is still in place. Sixteen people were killed and dozens injured when striking oil workers clashed with security forces over poor pay.
But experts say the early poll shows that the Kazakh authorities realize the time for change in the country has come. A political analyst at the RIA Novosti news agency, Dmitry Babich, says that President Nursultan Nazarbayev is trying to demonstrate that he wants to have more dialogue between the authorities and society.
“Kazakhstan in many ways is an exception for Central Asia, because it was a relative economic success story,” he told RT. “The political regime [there] is much softer than in the neighboring Uzbekistan. It’s certainly not as democratic as the regime in Kyrgyzstan, but on the other hand, Kyrgyzstan had riots, a lot of violence and coup d’etat which Kazakhstan has luckily avoided… The same trends that we see in Kyrgyzstan, [which is] ethnically very close to Kazakhstan, they may reveal themselves in Kazakhstan also.”
Therefore, Kazakhstan’s government, the party of power and President Nazarbayev are trying to preempt any sort of destabilization before it indeed rocks the country, Babich pointed out.
“That’s why they have early elections and that’s why they tried to react to the challenges that appear every new day,” he concluded.
