Urgent news come from the Republic of Kazakhstan. According to media reports, the Kazakh president Nursultan Nazarbayev resigned from his post, which he held since independence of the republic.
Nursultan Nazarbayev dismissed the government of Kazakhstan some time ago. Now, in the course of addressing the nation, he declared his own care.
In 2015, Nazarbayev was re-elected for a new (now fifth) presidential term during early elections in the country. Then he won the election with a giant margin, gaining almost 98% of the votes of Kazakhstani voters.
There are no official reports that Nazarbayev resigned from his authority on the website of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

I have decided to terminate my powers as president
According to Nazarbayev, the update process cannot be stopped.
“I’ll stop the president’s powers from 20 in March. Before the end of the term, the powers of the president are transferred to the head of the Senate who takes the oath in 12: 00 20 in March 2019.”
