People in Uzbekistan are voting on a constitutional referendum that could allow President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to extend his rule by 14 years.
If Sunday’s referendum passes, presidential terms would be lengthened from five to seven years. The change would allow the 65-year-old Mirziyoyev to serve two more terms and extend his time in power until 2040.

😮That thing on the plastic box looks like an alien 😊
Uzbekistan should skip the formalities and let Russia decide their fate like the state of Belarus.
RSS foolish 🐄
Why would you want to extend a Presidents term limit to the point where he would essentially be a dictator? Is voting every 4 or 5 years really that hard?
It’s not like the people really have a say in this. This is what makes a person a dictator. Once you understand how “voting” works in those countries…
@Martin C. Do you live in Uzbekistan?
@Afzalbek Abdusalomov You only know things that are related to where you live?
not allowed to criticize the dear leader law right before a vote to allow the dear leader eternal rule lol. this is north korea and 1984 twilight zone land.
@Martin C. You are right. Everything is scripted in Uzbekistan.
Endlessly Ukraine Marches on.. poor central Asians again or lol via poor Kazakhstan, Uzbekistanz, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan etc to TARTAN/CHECHENYA concentration prison camps Marches on. &, anti CHINA’S pak to IRANIAN az usual to
may Allah ﷻ free the Muslim nations of central asia from communist dictators 🤲🏻 ameen.
@Muslim Response yeah, the ark of noah. very interesting. please spare me with those tales.
@Panama Joe whats wrong with the ark of Noah. you never seen a big boat before that can carry people and animals? not every country is landlocked you know! also scientists and historians say that there has been several global floods in the past and nearly every ancient nation or civilisation speaks about a great flood.
@Muslim Response yeah, a kangaroo pair from australia found their way from australia to the middle east. hahaha.
@Panama Joe why not, never heard of a zoo, with different animals from around the world? how did tigers, lions and other african and indian animals find their way to the Roman colosseum 2,000 years ago. also to believe in Allah/God Almighty means to believe in miracles and even humans are performing miracles today!
@Muslim Response that is not a miracle that is a fairy tale. life itself is a miracle. the universe is a miracle. there is no need for dumb religions.
ONE’S UMMAH: ONE’S Gov & regimes only please..
Army’s airforce navy’s to NUCLEAR bombs too
Secularism as usual.
Religion of FREEDOM etc too. Allah’s akbar.
Dude is 65. Does he really need to give himself the chance to stay in power 17 more years? Doesn’t he want to retire?
Unfortunately, no
Some people want only power
So it a power graph
How about dual citizenship in Uzbekistan??? I would return my Uzbek passport😢😢😢
True democracies require shorter terms, two four-year terms is pushing the limit already. The U.S. congress is completely dysfunctional from long term members. Long term, the human mind corrupts in powerful positions in society, we can only withstand so much for so long, then get out of public service.
US should remove lobbying if they want a clean system
We already know how this story ends.
Putin nodding in approval.
بما أن الأمريكيين مشغولون في حرب أوكرانيا ، فهي فرصة مثالية للدول الإسلامية لمهاجمة إسرائيل والتدمير من الجذور.
This was definitely made using Google Translate and is such a dumb comment to make 😂
Dictatorship in the making
That’s government takeover
Extension of term limits will ended like Belarus
Central Asia is like North Africa – mixed with whytes.
Delusional
@ZRC actually many europeans were moved to central asia by the Soviets, especially Kazakhstan but also some to Uzbekistan and after the collapse of the western Roman empire, some european germanic tribes migrated to north Africa. look it up on the internet yourself!
Well, we know how the story ends
Another potential corrupt leader of “muslim” country 😂😂😂
All politicians should have term and age limits. Contrary, you are not voting them to represent you but instead this politicians thinks they are voted to rule over you.
Inshaalah this will not happen mirziyoyev can’t be president until 2040 because new opposition party will be registered
@Xudoberdi Isaqov at least hope is there. Better than nothin
But we can’t just hope and do nothing, my friend
@Abdurahmon Yunusov yes you’re right do you have information about Xidirnazar olloqulov who is leader of new party
@Xudoberdi Isaqov nope
@Abdurahmon Yunusov you can search about him through internet
Inshaallah!
Just give him a grave plot and be done with it
Another dictator. Congrats.
7 years 🤯🤯🤯
constantin barbu , a lingivstic historian that helped many countries to complete or give answers to their puzzles regarding their old manuscripts showed the whole world that romania is the only country that has manuscripts older than 2500 years.
He showed on your language ,history and lingvistic history that romania is the oldest country. Now ,before orthodox christianity romania was pagan. One of the apostoles of Iisus Hristos ,named Andrei ,came 2023 years ago in romania and since then ,romania became Orthodox.
church of west ,catholics and Church of east ,Orthodoxy ,were toghether for 1000 years but ,the church of west went in herezi and they put head of the church as pope ;they consider popes replacers of Hristos on earth. Orthodoxy did not accept that because head of church is Iisus Hristos.
In 2016 they made ecumenical sinod for all other denominations(sects)along with catholics to unite with orthodoxy and have head the pope.
Today orthodoxy is split in two :
one is ecumenistic
One the real and only true faith ,wich is for 2023 years ,wich still has Iisus Hristos as its head..wb

The first dictator karimov ruled the country till his death and the second one is gonna do the same no surprise and not feeling sorry for the people at all because they deserve it.
Agreed
Another dictator who wants to be president for life
This is because they only have one competent person to be the president in the whole nation. He needs to be for life if possible! 🤦♂️
Every president wants to be the King, every King wants to rule for life — Xi, Traitor Trump, Putin, Orzoban, Un, etc. They know they can’t be a leader by the people’s vote.
Salam aleykum manarhiya bechora o‘zbeklar
New dectator
Every leader from every country is trying use this method of extending their term, right now. No one wants to leave their seat. Reminds me of WW2. Hitler did the same thing.
how of uzbekistan’s mode of production?
capitalism isn’t democratic.
He is dictator, he just legalized his unlimited reign in power.
