Second Smaiylov Government

The Second Smaiylov Government (Kazakh: Смайылов екінші үкіметі, romanized: Smayılov ekinşi ükimeti; Russian: Второе правительство Смаилова) was the 18th composition of the Government of Kazakhstan under the leadership of Prime Minister Alihan Smaiylov. It was formed shortly after the 2023 legislative election, where the First Smaiylov Government previously resigned. On 30 March 2023, Smaiylov was reappointed as PM by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev after the lower house Mäjilis' confirmation in an 82–7 vote with eight abstentions.

In February 2024, President Tokayev dismissed Smaiylov from the post of Prime Minister, leading to Roman Sklyar briefly assuming the role of acting PM. Subsequently, Oljas Bektenov was appointed by the parliament to officially succeed Smaiylov as the Prime Minister and form the 15th government.
