Uzbekistan's presidential election looks set to hand incumbent Shavkat Mirziyoyev a third term as head of the gas-rich Central Asian state. Earlier this year, a constitutional referendum paved the way for him to serve two more presidential terms and increased the mandate from five years to seven, meaning he could stay in power until 2037.
