Kazakhstan's president must move fast to consolidate his grip after breaking with his powerful predecessor as the country was racked last week by the deadliest violence in its 30 years of independence from Moscow, a former prime minister said on Sunday.
As protesters torched buildings in the biggest city Almaty last Wednesday, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev removed former leader Nursultan Nazarbayev as head of the powerful Security Council - a role in which Nazarbayev, 81, had continued to pull the strings despite handing over the presidency in 2019.
"Now he has complete formal executive power, the question is how he will deploy it. He needs to take command." "If he does it in a short time, he can count on citizens' support in elections. If he doesn't, people will blame all the problems and everything that's happened recently on him."
