The next presidential elections in Kazakhstan will be held in 2029 in accordance with the current Constitution.
According to “Elchi”, this was stated by Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev while answering journalists’ questions.
Answering a question about whether the constitutional reform is preparing for a transfer of power, the President of Kazakhstan noted that various discussions are being held regarding this position, but there is no reason for concern.
“Indeed, such a position exists in a number of foreign countries. Some experts believe that competition within the government in Kazakhstan is intensifying and various disturbing trends are increasing. However, there is no reason to fear that this will have a negative impact on society,” Kassym-Jomart Tokayev assured.
According to him, the creation of the vice-president position will strengthen state power institutions, and this will manifest itself in the future.
“As President, I have great hopes for this position, as well as for all reforms in general. The next presidential elections, as planned, will be held within the period determined by the current Constitution – in 2029,” Tokayev added.
The President of Kazakhstan also emphasized that work on the Constitution has been ongoing for a long time.
