Tasmagambetov Cabinet

The Tasmagambetov Cabinet 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]
