		</div><p>Preliminary results show an ally of Kazakhstan’s former president has won the country’s presidential election.</p>
<p>Sunday’s vote was marred by a police crackdown on protesters who took to the streets against what they see as a mockery of democracy.</p>
<p>The Central Election Commission in the Central Asian country said Kassym-Jomart Tokayev won nearly 71% of the vote with all the ballots counted.</p>
<p>Mr Tokayev became acting president when Nursultan Nazarbayev, who had led the country since its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, abruptly stepped down.</p>
<p>Shortly after Mr Nazarbayev resigned, Kazakhstan’s ruling party nominated Mr Tokayev for presidency in what was largely seen as an orchestrated handover of power.</p>
<p>Some 500 people were taken into custody after police broke up rallies in Kazakhstan’s two largest cities.</p>
