Support The Moscow Times!

Nazarbayev Posters Off

ALMATY, Kazakhstan — Election officials in Kazakhstan have ordered local authorities to take down posters of the country's long-standing leader ahead of campaigning for a presidential election in April.

Elections official Adil Dzhunusov said Friday that the ubiquitous billboards should be removed by March 3 in line with laws prohibiting campaigning a month prior to the April 3 vote.
