The current President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev won the early presidential elections with 87.05% of the vote, follows from the final data of the CEC.
In second place is the candidate from the Social Democratic Party "Adolat", the first deputy chairman of the Supreme Court, Robakhon Makhmudova (4.43%), in the third place is the chairman of the People's Democratic Party Ulugbek Inoyatov (4.02%), in the fourth place is the leader of the Ecological Party Abdushukur Khamzaev (3.74%).
On April 30, 2023, in a constitutional referendum, more than 90% of the citizens of Uzbekistan who voted supported the adoption of amendments allowing Shavkat Mirziyoyev to remain in power until almost 2040. The adopted amendments increased the presidential term from 5 to 7 years. The number of terms is still limited to two, but due to a change in the constitution, Mirziyoyev's previous presidencies are not counted.
According to Mirziyoyev himself, he argued that holding early elections was necessary for the more effective implementation of "new political, social and economic tasks."
