President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokaev has signed constitutional amendments, according to AKI press.

The President will have only one 7-year term since now on. Nur-Sultan will be renamed as Astana.

Before, the President of Kazakhstan could be elected for a 5-year term, but could seat two terms. Nursultan Nazarbaev remained in president’s office from 1991 to 2019. At the suggestion of President Tokaev, snap presidential elections will be held this autumn.
