nursultan nazarbayev , a 74-year-old former steel worker who has ruled the oil-producing nation since 1989 , has won another five year term .
kazakh television showed a triumphant nazarbayev walking on a red carpet , smiling and shaking hands and greeting thousands of jubilant supporters at a forum in the capital astana .
but international monitors have voiced their concern about the poll saying there was not a genuine choice of other candidates with most of his vocal opponents either being jailed .
