So What Comes Next?"},"content":{"rendered":"
On January 10, voters in Kazakhstan went to the polls and elected a new parliament that looks very much like the old parliament.<\/p>\n
The same day, voters in Kyrgyzstan went to the polls and elected a new president and voted to change the system of government to a presidential form of rule.<\/p>\n
On this week’s Majlis podcast, RFE\/RL’s Media-Relations Manager Muhammad Tahir moderates a discussion looking at what happened — and what might come next for both countries.<\/p>\n
