The presidential elections were held in Kazakhstan in 2022 to elect the President of Kazakhstan . This is the seventh presidential election held since Kazakhstan's independence. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev , who was President before the election, was elected again, receiving 81% of the vote. His closest challenger, Jiguli Dairabaev of the Auyl Party , received just 3%. ^[1]

In September 2022, during his annual Address to the nation Tokayev made many proposals. Two of the main proposals that were later approved were: holding snap elections in the autumn of 2022 and extending the presidential term from 5 years to 7 years, but banning re-election.

All presidential contestants challenging Tokayev were described as "pocket candidates", because of their lack of popularity and obscurity. ^{[2] [3]}
