Kazakhstan President Appoints Erlan Karin as First Vice President Under New Constitution
Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev appointed his longtime adviser Erlan Karin as the country's first vice president under a new constitution that establishes the role. Karin, with a background in counter-terrorism, has been a key adviser since 2019 and is now first in line to succeed Tokayev, who remains eligible to run for another seven-year term ending in 2029. The appointments, including the reappointment of Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov, were approved by the pro-Tokayev parliament amid recent constitutional reforms.
