No serious violations in Kazakhstan’s presidential election – CIS observers

CIS observation mission hasn't recorded serious violations in the early presidential election in Kazakhstan, said the mission's head.

"We saw no serious violations that could affect the election results," Sergei Lebedev, the mission head and chairman of CIS Executive Committee said at the press conference at Kazakh Central Election Commission.

Lebedev added that there were only minor organizational shortcomings in the election, RIA Novosti reported.

CIS observers advised the CEC authorities to increase the number of members of the precinct election commissions to avoid queues in the polling stations.

Earlier, head of Kazakh CEC said that the country's incumbent President Nursultan Nazarbayev gathered 97.7 percent of votes, according to the preliminary data.

Under the constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, president of Kazakhstan is the head of the state, its highest official defining the main vectors of the country's domestic and foreign policy and representing Kazakhstan within the country and in the international relations.
