Early presidential elections in Kazakhstan have been scheduled to April 26, 2015, Tengrinews reports citing President Nursultan Nazarbayev as saying yesterday.

"Today, I have consulted the leaders of the Senate and the Mazhilis of the Parliament, the Prime-Minister of Kazakhstan and the Chairman of the Constitutional Council of Kazakhstan. (...) The dates of the presidential and parliamentary elections fall on the year 2016, and in fact coincide. But the Constitution does not allow that," Nazarbayev said.
