Kanat Aldabergenuly Bozumbayev (Kazakh: Қанат Алдабергенұлы Бозымбаев, romanized: Qanat Aldabergenūly Bozymbaev, [qɑˈnɑt ɑɫdɑ.bʲerˈɡʲeno̙ɫɯ bɔˈzɯmbɑjɯf]; born 8 January 1969) is a Kazakh politician, who has been serving as Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan since 31 March 2024.[1]
Prior to being Deputy Prime Minister, Bozumbayev has held several ministry and local government positions, including the offices of Advisor to the President (2023–2024), Akim of Almaty Region (2021–2022), Assistant to the President (2019–2022), Minister of Energy (2016–2019) and Akim of the Pavlodar (2013–2016) and Jambyl (2009–2013) Regions.
Bozumbayev is infamous for being a controversial figure in Kazakh politics, particularly a gaffe, in which when talking to the people of Taldykorgan during the 2022 Kazakh unrest, he, then-Akim of Almaty Region, accidentally cursed at a citizen.[1][2]
