The president of Kazakhstan holds the highest authority in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Established under the Constitution of Kazakhstan, the president is the head of state and is directly elected by the people for a nonrenewable term of seven years. Alongside the prime minister, the president leads the executive branch of the Kazakh government and serves as the commander-in-chief of the Kazakh Armed Forces.[1] Since the establishment of the office of the presidency on 24 April 1990, under the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, Kazakhstan has had only two individuals serve as president.[2] The current president, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, assumed office on 20 March 2019, following the resignation of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the country's founding president.[3]
