  "textContent": "Kazakhstan has approved a new Constitution following a nationwide referendum held on March 15, marking one of the most significant political transformations in the country's modern history.\nAccording to official data, voter turnout exceeded 70%, with nearly 90% of participants supporting the new draft of the Basic Law. The reform introduces sweeping changes to the political system, replacing the previous model shaped by the legacy of Nursultan Nazarbayev with a new architecture of power. This includes the establishment of a unicameral parliament, the reintroduction of the vice-presidential post, and additional mechanisms for the transfer of power.\nPresident Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has already stated that he does not intend to seek re-election and plans to step down in 2029.",
