President Of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev Resigns After 3 Decades In Office by Nobody: 6:31pm On Mar 19, 2019
Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev announced his shock resignation today, 29 years after taking office.


“I have taken the decision to refuse the mandate of the presidency,” he said in a speech broadcast on state television. Nazarbayev came to power in oil-rich Kazakhstan when it was still a Soviet republic.

The move comes on the back of growing social discontent and an economy still recovering from an oil price plunge in 2014. The announcement also comes just weeks after the ageing strongman dismissed the country’s government.

Nazarbayev will enjoy significant policy-making powers following his resignation thanks to his constitutional status as “Leader of the Nation”. He also became lifelong head of the country’s security council last year. Nazarbayev, who won a 2015 election with almost 98 percent of the vote, was widely expected to seek another term in 2020.

How did he manage to receive 98% votes in an election? Was he a sole candidate for the election? Your guess is as good as mine.

When PDP was in power, they usually recorded 100% votes for Pdp candidates in elections.

Obasanjo under Pdp won 100% of Bonny in 2003. This is despite the fact that Marshall Harry the ANPP Chairman was from the SS.

That is why they are fighting in Rivers till today. This is the first true election there where no one has the monopoly of violence or state apparatus to manipulate elections.
