Nursultan Nazarbayev was today sworn in as President of Kazakhstan stretching his rule into a third decade. President Nazarbayev took the oath of office in the capital Astana. Kazakh elections officials said Mr. Nazarbayev won 95.5 percent of the ballots in Sunday's election. Opposition parties boycotted the election, which was held two years before the 70-year-old leader's term was due to end, calling it a sham.
