The First Daniyal Akhmetov Government (Kazakh: Даниял Ахметов Үкіметі, romanized: Danial Ahmetov Ükımetı; Russian: Правительство Данияла Ахметова) was the 7th government in Kazakhstan, led by Prime Minister Daniyal Akhmetov. President Nursultan Nazarbayev nominated Akhmetov at a joint session of the Parliament to be Prime Minister on 13 June 2003, emphasizing that the country needed a government led by someone with significant regional governing experience. Nazarbayev highlighted Akhmetov’s tenure as the akim of Pavlodar Region as a reason for his selection, aiming to accelerate the pace of social and economic development. Akhmetov was approved by a wide margin, with 73 out of 77 deputies from the Mäjilis and 36 out of 39 deputies from the Senate supporting his appointment.^[1]

Following the 2005 presidential election, Akhmetov resigned on 18 January 2006, but was reappointed shortly afterward by President Nazarbayev, forming a new government under his leadership.^[2]
