Astana, Nov 21 (EFE).- Kazakhstan<\/strong> on Monday criticized<\/strong> the “lack of objectivity” of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe<\/strong> (OSCE) observer mission in its preliminary conclusions on Sunday’s early presidential elections<\/strong>, which said that it underlined the lack of pluralism and competitiveness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The statement on the preliminary conclusions of the observation mission (…) lacks objectivity<\/strong> and puts in question the effectiveness of the ODIHR as an important institution that up to this day has had the support of our republic,” the Kazakh Foreign Ministry said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Astana believes that the report contains a set of “typical OSCE\/ODIHR biased conclusions<\/strong>, demonstrating a complete unwillingness<\/strong> to recognize the development of the internal situation” in Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

“In the activities of the OSCE\/ODIHR observation team and its leadership was clearly seen the mistrust<\/strong> in the reforms carried out by the President of Kazakhstan, aimed at transforming the country and turning it into an advanced society based on the rule of law,” the ministry said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Kazakh government considers that the OSCE conclusions contain \u201cunsubstantiated and unconfirmed allegations”<\/strong> and contradict the analyses of other missions of accredited international organizations that also observed the elections.<\/p>\n

“The content of the OSCE\/ODIHR\u2019s statement demonstrates a lack of desire<\/strong> to develop long-term and constructive cooperation with Kazakhstan authorities, which will, undoubtedly, be taken into account,” Astana warned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The ODIHR said Monday that the elections took place in a “political environment lacking competitiveness,”<\/strong> and stressed the need to adapt legislation to ensure “genuine pluralism.”<\/p>\n

“A lack of pluralism<\/strong> played a significant role in undermining competitiveness in this election, and limitations on free speech and a lack of opportunity to conduct peaceful assemblies narrowed the space for critical voices,” said Urszula Gacek<\/strong>, head of the ODIHR<\/strong> mission.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

President Tokayev ran for re-election as a “joint candidate of all parliamentary parties and, in fact, did not receive any significant challenge in a low-intensity campaign,” the organization added.<\/p>\n

“The ability of citizens to participate fully in political life remains significantly constrained<\/strong>, including by limitations on fundamental freedoms,” the OSCE stressed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Observers found that while the voting process was calm and procedures were generally followed, errors and omissions<\/strong> occurred during the counting that undermined its transparency.<\/p>\n

Tokayev won Sunday’s elections with 81.31% of the votes<\/strong>, according to the preliminary results of the country\u2019s Central Election Commission (CEC). EFE<\/p>\n
