Kazakhstan calls March 15 referendum on new constitution
The new draft basic law would streamline Kazakhstan’s parliament, replacing two chambers with one and reducing the number of lawmakers, while reinstating the office of vice-president, which was abolished in 1996. Under the new draft, Kazakh presidents would remain limited to a single term of seven years. Tokayev has previously said that he will leave office in 2029, but the new constitution may provide a backdoor to another term, if its passage is held to nullify his previous term, served under an old constitution. A Kazakh diplomatic source told Reuters that a new term under the new constitution is a possibility, but that no firm decision had yet been taken. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
