# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Nursultan Nazarbayev joined the Communist Party in 1962 as a steel worker, climbed to First Secretary by 1989, and was elected president of the Kazakh SSR in 1990. He steered the republic through Soviet collapse to independence in 1991, then appeared alone on the ballot and won. A 1995 referendum extended his term by decree; a 1999 election followed without democratic process. A Supreme Court ruling in 2005 let him run again, and a 2007 amendment exempted him alone from term limits, clearing the way for re-elections in 2011 and 2015. He resigned in March 2019 amid protests, handing power to Kassym-Jomart Tokayev but keeping the Security Council chair and party leadership. The 2022 unrest broke that grip: a referendum stripped his special titles, Senate seat, and Constitutional Council membership. By 2023 the official posts were gone, and so was the dominance.
