Members of Kazakhstan's Amanat party agreed on Thursday at their 24th congress to nominate incumbent President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev as a candidate in the impending early presidential election, according to a Sputnik journalist.

"The decision was unanimous. Fellow members of the Amanat party, the 24ht congress has unanimously nominated Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev as a candidate for the Kazakh presidency," Executive Secretary Askhat Oralov said after the voting.

The People's Party of Kazakhstan, one of the country's three parliamentary parties, has also nominated Tokayev as a candidate, according to party leader Yermukhamet Yertysbayev.

"I am making a proposal: despite the fact that, according to the constitution, the head of state is not a member of any party, our party not only supports incumbent president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev but is also nominating him for the early election," Yertysbayev said at a party congress.

This proposition was approved by the delegates present at the conference.

The party believes that a strong coalition of all three parliamentary parties is required to support Tokayev and that the coalition might also include non-governmental organizations, other republican groups, and civil activists, according to Yertysbayev.

The snap election is scheduled for November 20.
