The First Smaiylov Government ( Kazakh: Смайыловтың бірінші үкіметі, romanized: Smayılovtıñ birinşi ükimeti; Russian: Первое правительство Смаилова) was the 13th composition of the Government of Kazakhstan under the leadership of Prime Minister Älihan Smaiylov. It was formed after the previous government, led by Prime Minister Askar Mamin, was dismissed by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on 5 January 2022 as a result of the 2022 Kazakh unrest. The membership of the government was announced by the president on 11 January 2022. [1] Eight of the 21 ministers of the previous cabinet were replaced.

The government functioned before PM Älihan Smaiylov resigned following the 2023 legislative election on 29 March 2023, [2] which was succeeded by the Second Smaiylov Government after Smaiylov was re-appointed to his position as the PM by Tokayev on 30 March. [3]

[4] Prior to that, Smayilov served as first deputy prime minister and finance minister in Mamin's government. [5]

During an extraordinary session of the CTSO on 10 January 2022, President Tokayev announced that he would submit proposed candidacies for ministerial posts to the Parliament the following day to form a new cabinet. [6] On 11 January, at the lower house Majilis session, Tokayev named Smaiylov for prime ministerial candidacy where he was unanimously elected by all present 89 deputies across party lines. [7]
