ALMATY (Reuters) - Uzbekistan votes in a parliamentary election on Sunday that is certain, in the absence of opposition parties, to produce a legislature loyal to President Shavkat Mirziyoyev despite some changes to the procedure after a constitutional reform.
Mirziyoyev has run Central Asia's most populous nation, since 2016, winning broad popularity through liberal economic reforms and an easing of his predecessor's draconian restrictions on political, religious and media freedoms.
