The Tasmagambetov Government (Kazakh: Тасмағамбетов Үкіметі, romanized: Tasmağambetov Ükımetı; Russian: Правительство Тасмагамбетова) was the 5th government of Kazakhstan. Led by Prime Minister Imangali Tasmagambetov, it was formed on 28 January 2002 after his predecessor Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stepped down from his post along with his entire cabinet. President Nursultan Nazarbayev nominated Tasmagmabetov for office to which it was unanimously approved by the Parliament.[1] Prior to that, Tasmagambetov served as the Deputy PM under Tokayev's cabinet.[2] It was believed that the cause of the change in the government was an attempt to strengthen its stability as it faced opposition from political groups.[3]
On 11 June 2003, Tasmagambetov resigned after failing to persuade the Parliament to pass a bill in a form desired by President Nazarbayev that would've privatized land in Kazakhstan.[4] He accused of the Parliament for falsifying the vote which took place on 19 May.[5] Nazarbayev appointed Daniyal Akhmetov as the Acting PM who was confirmed by the Parliament on 13 June to form the 6th government.[6] Tasmagambetov that day was appointed as the State Secretary.[7]
