Dushanbe, Tajikistan, Oct 11 (AFP/APP): Voting was underway in Tajikistan Sunday in a presidential election expected to pave the way for incumbent Emomali Rakhmon to become the longest-ruling strongman in the former Soviet space.
Few anticipate any hiccups for Rakhmon as he closes in on three decades in power to overtake Kazakhstan’s recently retired Nursultan Nazarbayev in Central Asian longevity stakes.
