In the direction headed by the President

The President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kasym-Zhomart Tokayev, in accordance with the Constitution of the country, decided to hold early presidential elections on June 9, 2019.

«I consulted with Elbasy - Nursultan Abishevich Nazarbayev. I consulted with the speakers of both Houses of Parliament, the Prime Minister of the country. I coordinated my decision with the Constitutional Council. I met with leaders of parliamentary parties. The decision on early elections is important and necessary. Thanks to Elbasy, we built a successful, authoritative state in the world. Kazakhstan has taken a worthy place in the international community», said President K. Tokayev.

Yes, over 28 years of independence, our country has gone through difficult and glorious ways, under the leadership of the First President of the country, Nursultan Nazarbayev. We established our borders and established our symbols, established diplomatic, trade and economic relations with more than 140 countries of the world and defined our place in the world community. We have become one of the 50 most developed countries in the world. There are many achievements in the field of education, science and other social spheres. Today, Kazakhstan is becoming a political platform for peace and international harmony. And now we must continue this course, strengthen our independence. Obviously, a great leader must be elected head of state, who can base Kazakhstan without fear of lofty goals, and who can mobilize people for them. Therefore, presidential elections are a necessary measure for the security of a country and a state. Therefore, presidential elections are a necessary measure for the security of a country and a state.

Now we are all experiencing a historic moment. Therefore, I firmly believe that the early election of the Head of State is necessary.

In order to ensure social and political agreement, to move forward confidently, to solve the tasks of socio-economic development, it is necessary to remove any uncertainty. We must confirm the continuity, predictability and stability of our domestic and foreign policy. It is necessary to continue work on the effective, successful implementation of social programs and the strategy of Elbasy.

Kazakhstan is a democratic state. The President will be elected according to the will of the people. As the acting Head of State, I guarantee that the elections will be held honestly, openly, fairly! This is my principal position! We face big challenges. I believe in the wisdom of our people», said Kasym-Zhomart Tokayev.

We should consider the decision of the head of state K. Tokayev to hold early presidential elections as a sign of concern for the fate of the country.
