Kazakhstan, the election farce

The President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev will be held today (Monday, editor's note) the presidential elections in Kazakhstan, which owns the nation's 3 percent of global oil reserves, the first global producer of uranium. The result is obvious: win Nursultan Nazarbayev, 70, in power since 1989.

In February, while the Tunisian people's revolution spread to Egypt, the Asian leader has announced plans to bring forward by one year the election. Has anyone tried to protest, because of the 22 candidates, the electoral commission has accepted only three, all considered pro-government.
