JUST IN!!! President Resigns After 3 Decades In Office

President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev has reportedly reigned.

Igbere TV gathered that he resigned today after 29 years after taking office.

“I have taken the decision to refuse the mandate of the presidency,” he said in a speech broadcast on state television. Nazarbayev came to power in oil-rich Kazakhstan when it was still a Soviet republic.

The move comes on the back of growing social discontent and an economy still recovering from an oil price plunge in 2014. The announcement also comes just weeks after the ageing strongman dismissed the country’s government.

Nazarbayev will enjoy significant policy-making powers following his resignation thanks to his constitutional status as “Leader of the Nation”.

According to report, he also became lifelong head of the country’s security council last year. Nazarbayev, who won a 2015 election with almost 98 percent of the vote, was widely expected to seek another term in 2020.
