President of Uzbekistan Shavakat Mirzivoyev re-elected and took an oath during the solemn Ceremony of the Inauguration<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

After the country\u2019s first constitutional referendum on 30 April, comprising major constitutional amendments, the Uzbek population headed again to the voting stations on Sunday 9 July.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout\u00a0the whole of last year, the population of Uzbekistan had been consulted on how they would like their country to be in the years to come.\u00a0 The process was called the NEW UZBEKISTAN.\u00a0The amendments were accepted in the referendum with over 90% in support\u00a0of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The presidential election of 9 July was one of the direct results of the constitutional\u00a0change. There were several candidates running for election, but for any observer it seemed\u00a0impossible to win against the\u00a0incumbent —\u00a0and\u00a0now\u00a0re-elected\u00a0—\u00a0president. He has done a very good job during his previous term, and everybody expects this will continue to be the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uzbekistan legislation requires at least 33% of eligible voters to take part in the presidential elections, otherwise, the elections will be pronounced invalid. The law also provides for a second round if none of the candidates receives more than 50% of the vote.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The President was re-elected with 87.05 % of the votes. The participation was higher in the regions than in Taskhent, but this is because many Uzbeks go back to their home cities to vote. The elections were well organized, and there was no criticism from any of the observers. It seemed logical — and completely obvious — to the many observers that the current president would be re-elected, given his excellent track record.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following day, 10 July,\u00a0the country\u2019s Central Election Commission published the preliminary results showing the sweeping\u00a0victory of President\u00a0Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who got\u00a087.05% of the votes. More than 15 million voters\u00a0turned out for\u00a0the elections.<\/span><\/p>\n

As\u00a0the result was being\u00a0declared,\u00a0letters of congratulations came from all over the world, and especially\u00a0from\u00a0the neighboring countries.\u00a0President\u00a0Kassym-Jomart Tokayev\u00a0of Kazakhstan was the first to congratulate his colleague on the victory. President Tokayev described the results of the presidential election as proof of people\u2019s support of\u00a0the current Uzbek president\u2019s political\u00a0program\u00a0aimed at ensuring\u00a0Uzbekistan’s\u00a0sustainable growth, stability and prosperity, the president\u2019s press service said.\u00a0<\/sup>The Chinese leader\u00a0Xi Jinping\u00a0sent his congratulations as well and praised Mirziyoyev’s leadership, saying,\u00a0\u00ab\u00a0I am willing to work with you to promote the continuous development of the China-Uzbekistan comprehensive strategic partnership and inject new impetus into the construction of a China-Uzbekistan community with a shared future,\u00a0\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

During the Inauguration, the President outlined strategic goals for the next 7 years. These are the improvement of legislative and executive power, the creation of a compact and efficient management system, the development of the social sphere, the expansion of opportunities for entrepreneurship, and the increase in jobs and incomes of the population.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shavkat Mirziyoyev announced the consistent continuation of a deeply thought-out foreign policy and economic diplomacy. The main goal will be to strengthen relations with the states of the region and to raise cooperation with foreign partners and international organizations to a new level. Solving the problems of ecology and environmental protection, as well as the shortage of water resources, will remain an urgent task.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a neutral, independent observer, I have had the pleasure of visiting Uzbekistan numerous times over the years, and what I see and hear is that the population has\u00a0a\u00a0rising\u00a0standard of living.\u00a0Economic growth is stable.\u00a0President\u00a0Shavakat Mirzivoyev\u00a0has opened up the country of 35 million people to foreign trade and investment while also easing restrictions on religious and political freedoms. This was my third presidential election, something a volunteer in Bukhara so kindly\u00a0reminded me\u00a0of. I visited several voting stations, and they were as usual very well organized.\u00a0Owing\u00a0to the heat, most people came early in the morning, or\u00a0late in the day,\u00a0just before the closure of the voting stations.\u00a0In\u00a0the middle of the day, when the temperature reached 43 degrees Centigrade, many people preferred to wait until the late afternoon before casting their vote.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
