Three decades ago, in 1989, when Kazakstan left the Soviet Union, the country’s current president, seventy-eight-year-old Nur Sultan Nazarbayev, resigned from his position and handed over the post to the speaker.
Kazakstan was liberated in 1989 from the Soviet Union and, a few months before the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Noor Sultan became the country’s president in the popular vote. He is the first President of the Communist Party.
Nur Sultan has been re-elected as the President of the country for the fifth time since last year’s election. He was also the leader until May 2009 in the Casakstana Security Council.
A leader who won such a prestigious popularity without any prior notice, withdrew from his positions unforeseen.
