The Second Mamin Government (Kazakh: Мамин екінші үкіметі, romanizedMamïn ekinşi ükimeti; Russian: Второе правительство Мамина) was the 16th composition of the Government of Kazakhstan under the leadership of Prime Minister Askar Mamin.[1] It was formed on 15 January 2021 following the 2021 legislative election, where Mamin, who has headed the government since February 2019, was re-appointed as PM by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.[2] This also marked the first time that a government cabinet was formed in Kazakhstan as a result of the election due to a 2017 constitutional reform law, with his prime-ministrial nomination being supported by 78 deputies of the lower house Mäjilis.[3][4]

The cabinet resigned in awake of the massive nationwide unrest on 5 January 2022,[5][6] which was then briefly led by Mamin's deputy, Älihan Smaiylov, as the acting prime minister of the caretaker government before a new succeeding cabinet was sworn on 11 January.[7][8][9]
