# Second Daniyal Akhmetov Government

The Second Daniyal Akhmetov Government (Kazakh: Екінші Даниял Ахметов үкіметі, romanized: Ekınşı Daniyal Ahmetov ükımetı; Russian: Второе правительство Данияла Ахметова) was the 8th government in Kazakhstan led by Prime Minister Daniyal Akhmetov.
Following the 2005 presidential election, Akhmetov resigned on 18 January 2006 and was reappointed by President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who expressed confidence in his leadership. On the same day, the Parliament approved Akhmetov's reappointment as prime minister. The newly composed government was confirmed the following day, on 19 January, with most ministers retaining their positions, ensuring continuity in governance as Kazakhstan continued its social and economic development.
Akhmetov continued leading the cabinet until his resignation on 8 January 2007 without a full explanation to which political analysts believed that it was due Nazarbayev's constant criticism of his administrative oversight of the economy. Following the 2007 political shakeup, Akhmetov was appointed as the minister of defense by President Nazarbayev on 10 January and continued to work under Massimov's government until June 2009.
