Kazakhs are going to the polls on Sunday June 09,2019  to choose a new president, for the first time in almost 30 years.

Seven candidates were registered to participate in the elections, including Kassym Jomart Tokayev, who became president three months before the elections following the resignation of Nazarbayev

Interim President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has been handpicked by the country's former leader, Nursultan Nazarbayev.

Nazarbayev, 78, who’s ruled Kazakhstan since 1989, began a long-expected transfer of power in March when he resigned the presidency in favor of Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who was head of the senate and next in line under the constitution.
