The people of Kazakhstan vote on Sunday in a general election in which
no-one is expecting anything other than a landslide for President
Nazarbayev's ruling party.
The longstanding leader has consistently put economic growth before democratic reform, and previous elections have been criticised by international observers.
For the first time, the second-placed party will be automatically guaranteed seats in parliament. But commentators see little likelihood of a shift in the balance of power.
