		</div><p>The new president of Kazakhstan has been inaugurated, promising to pursue the course of his predecessor, who had run the country since independence.</p>
<p>Kassym-Jomart Tokayev took the oath of office on Wednesday, three days after the election in which he recorded about 70% of the vote.</p>
<p>Mr Tokayev was acting president following the surprise resignation in March of Nursultan Nazarbayev.</p>
<p><em>“It has to be recognised that, in these elections, citizens voted for the continuation of the course of the Elbasy,”</em> said Mr Tokayev, referring to the title accorded to Mr Nazarbayev meaning “leader of the nation”.</p>
<p>With that title and his role as head of the national security council, Mr Nazarbayev will remain a powerful figure in Kazakhstan.</p>
<p>The transition comes amid rising dissent in Kazakhstan.</p>
<p>More than 500 people were arrested in election-day protests.</p>
