ALMA-ATA, may 2 – RIA Novosti. Termination of the powers of Dariga Nazarbayeva as a member of Senate (upper chamber) of the Parliament of Kazakhstan is likely to have agreed with her father – the first President of the country Nursultan Nazarbayev, considers the political scientist, the Director of the center for topical research “Alternative” Andrei chebotaryev.
Earlier on Saturday, the press service of the President reported that the head of state Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed a decree on termination of powers Nazarbayeva as a member of Senate. The reason for this decision has to date not made public. Later on Twitter Tokayev thanked Nazarbayev for the active and fruitful work in the position of President of the Senate.
“Given the preservation of Nursultan Nazarbayev of all formal and informal levers of influence on the situation in the country, it is doubtful to believe that this event was the result of personal expression Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, and it marks the rupture of relations between Akorda (presidential administration – ed.) and “Library” (the office of the President of Kazakhstan, ed.),” wrote Chebotarev Facebook.
most Likely, the expert continues, “it was agreed between the first and second presidents and that is not possible with most Dariga Nazarbayeva”. “Everything here depends only on what the real reason lies in its departure from the post of speaker of the Senate and, therefore, how to develop her political career”, he added.
as one of the possible career paths Nazarbayeva, the political scientist did not rule out her return to government as Deputy Prime Minister. “Anyway, on the background of active the last time the narrative of the development of gender equality and raising the level of representation of women in leadership positions such decision may be justified. Besides, it last year announced a large number of proposals and initiatives in various fields, to realize that in life you can trust just her,” said Chebotarev.
in addition, he did not rule out that the withdrawal Nazarbayeva from the Senate was the result of intra-elite confrontation, one way or another touched and controlled by representatives of its nearest environment assets or interests of other groups. “In this case, either this is another “measure”, or withdrawal from striking opponents, which also took place at the time. But then the further activities of the eldest daughter of the President (the leader of the nation Nursultan Nazarbayev – ed.) in the political field of the country may be some time in the indeterminate state”, – wrote the expert.
After the abdication of the President in March 2019 Nazarbayev retained the post of head of the security Council of the country and leader of the ruling party Nur Otan. These positions giving him broad powers.
