In Kazakhstan, the construction of a nuclear power plant was approved on Sunday through
00:03
a referendum with 66.23% support and 63.87% turnout, according to preliminary data presented
00:11
by the country's Central Electoral Commission.
00:13
More than 12.2 million Kazakhs voted on Sunday to agree or disagree on the government's
00:18
proposal to build the country's first-ever nuclear power plant.
00:21
During the process, it was reported that there were no major incidents.
00:25
In addition, the president of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, went to the polls earlier
00:29
in the day and cast his vote at a polling station in the capital city of Astana.
00:33
The construction of a nuclear power plant will reduce Russia's electricity imports
00:37
and its dependence on fossil fuels, as the country is 80% dependent on coal mines to
00:41
generate electricity, a highly polluting sector.
