Voters in Kyrgyzstan cast ballots Sunday on whether to approve a new constitution that would substantially increase the president's powers. The Sunday referendum comes three months after Sadyr Zhaparov was elected president, following the ouster of the previous president amid protests, the third time in 15 years that a leader of the Central Asian country had been driven from office in a popular uprising.
