Kazakhstan: Swathes of land confiscated from #Nazarbayev’s brother ahead of vote.
De-Nazarbayevification is a useful electoral strategy, which may explain why the news was announced by #Kazakhstan’s ruling party ahead of polls next month.

Closing circles in #Kazakhstan. Dismantlement of legislative framework nurturing #Nazarbayev’s personalism paves the way, symbolically yet not insignificantly, to new power system. Next Majlis vote to finalise composition of personnel supporting this system. A crucial year for KZ https://twitter.com/radioazattyq/status/1613007986569662465

On 1 January, #Kazakhstan|s Imangali Tasmagambetov took over as GenSec of #CSTO for a 3-year term.

It's a risky assignment given the organisations fundamental legitimacy problems particularly in the #Caucasus, but probably the best post a #Nazarbayev -connected political heavyweight like him can expect in the fundamentally new environment shaped by #Tokayev.

A draft law in the #Kazakh legislature by the ruling Amanat Party foresees the cancellation of all privileges, particularly immunity after leaving office, and the status of #elbasy from #Nazarbayev after his status was already removed from the #Constitution in June.

Disppacement by chosen successor - an increasingly common power transition model in #CentralAsia - with possibilities for some openings along the way?

Eyes on Tajikistan 🇹🇯 next.

His immorality defies reasonable explanation. To erect a memorial to victims of the January events, which he himself shot, is the top of cynicism!

#Tokayev's predictable triumph leaves #Kazakhstan suspended between New and Old. A regime-only candidate field + preventative repression to block protests on election day are v much signs of continuity with the past, pointing to a future that remains non-democratic.
But this was also 1st time when ordinary #Kazakhstan¦i were asked to legitimise electorally a regime not connected w/ #Nazarbayev power system, indicating that a new phase opens today.
