Dulat Agadil, aged in his early 40s, died from what was believed to be acute cardiovascular failure in a cell in the capital Nur-Sultan after police took him in late on Monday, the Interior Ministry said in a statement, ruling out foul play. Nazarbayev, who retains sweeping powers, nominated close ally Kassym-Jomart Tokayev as successor, ensuring his victory in a subsequent snap election.
“Turgumbayev must not remain minister for another hour,” shouted activist Bibigul Tuyakova. But police were quick to disperse them, rounding about two dozen into vans, some men lifted from their feet as women screamed in anger.
