Vladimir Kozlov, the leader of Kazakhstan's unregistered opposition party Forward (Alga) has announced his intention to run in a presidential election scheduled for 2012.
Kozlov said it was not only time for 70-year-old incumbent Nursultan Nazarbaev, 70, to be replaced but also for a new political system in the country.
Yermukhammet Yertlesbaev, one of Nazarbaev's closest aides, said in September that Nazarbaev would run for another term in the next presidential election.
