Kazakh electors pick fresh crop of senators, RFE (2008)
The head of Kazakhstan’s election authority has endorsed the results of an indirect vote to fill a handful of seats in the country’s rubberstamp upper house of parliament, saying candidates won majorities in all 16 contests. It was unclear whether all the winners were members of the pro-presidential Nur-Otan party or nominal independents, but there were no opposition members among the 37 candidates in the running.
