Kazakhstan voters approved a new constitution granting Kassym-Jomart Tokayev broader powers after a national referendum saw over 87 percent support.The reforms consolidate the parliament into a single chamber and create a presidentially appointed People’s Council while potentially allowing Tokayev to reset his term limits beyond 2029.These political changes arrive as the nation faces 12 percent inflation and memories of the 2022 unrest, with the document also strictly defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
