Daniyal Kenjetaiuly Akhmetov (Kazakh: Даниал Кенжетайұлы Ахметов, Danial Kenjetaiūly Ahmetov; born 15 June 1954) is a Kazakh politician who was the 6th Prime Minister of Kazakhstan from 13 June 2003 to 9 January 2007.[1]
Critics refer to him as "The Terminator", a nickname he gained as the akim of Pavlodar Region for his actions in suppressing supporters of Galymzhan Zhakiyanov, the previous äkim.[2] On 8 January 2007, he resigned as Prime Minister. He did not say why, but President Nursultan Nazarbayev had criticized him in 2006 for overspending and other administrative errors.[3] Nazarbayev accepted his resignation, and immediately appointed him acting Prime Minister.[4]
Akhmetov was included as Minister of Defense in the government that took office on 10 January 2007. He was dismissed from that post in June 2009. From November 11, 2014 to June 16, 2023, he was äkim of the East Kazakhstan Region.[5]
