The elections were held in the absence of opposition parties, although some changes in the electoral procedure were introduced after the constitutional reform.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who has been in power since 2016, has gained popularity through liberal economic reforms and the easing of severe restrictions on political, religious and media freedoms left by his predecessor.
