OSCE: ELECTIONS IN KAZAKHSTAN WERE HELD WITHOUT POLITICAL COMPETITION

On 21 November 2022, Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry said that the OSCE's ODIHR "suffers from a lack of objectivity" due to a "biased" assessment of the elections.

Tokayev, continuing the Nazarbayev tradition, did not allow real opposition to participate in the elections, and the OSCE observers have documented this in detail in the report.

Two policemen came to civil activist Yermek #KONSHBAYEV’s home to allegedly check on him and see if he was fine. They claimed they decided to drop by on their way to a place on a call.
