Kazakhstan’s president dissolves parliament, calls election, The Washington Post (2011)
The article reports that President Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan issued a decree dissolving the parliament and calling an early election to be held on January 15, 2012. According to the amended election law, the minimum of two parties will enter the legislature after the January vote, thus ending the monopoly of the governing party. Nonetheless, the article notes that genuine opposition forces in Kazakhstan stand a poor chance of winning parliamentary seats in the upcoming elections.
