    • 2022 September 17, Heikki Aittokoski, “Kazakstanin pääkaupungilla on ollut monta nimeä, ja nyt siitä tulee jälleen Pääkaupunki”, in Helsingin sanomat‎:
      Itsevaltainen Nazarbajev osasi saada vakuuttavia vaalivoittoja. Vuoden 2015 presidentinvaaleissa hänen ääniosuutensa oli 97,7 prosenttia. Olisi kiinnostavaa tietää, kuka ja missä kokouksessa on sanonut, että ”annetaanpas oppositiolle tällä kertaa vaikka 2,3 prossaa”.
      The despotic Nazarbajev knew how to get convincing election victories. In the 2015 presidential election his share of the votes was 97.7 per cent. It would be interesting to know who, and in what meeting, said, 'how about we give the opposition 2.3 per cent this time'.
    Synonyms: prosentti, sadasosa
