Critics refer to him as "The Terminator", a nickname he gained as the akim of Pavlodar Region for his actions in suppressing supporters of Galymzhan Zhakiyanov, the previous äkim.[2] On 8 January 2007, he resigned as Prime Minister. He did not say why, but President Nursultan Nazarbayev had criticized him in 2006 for overspending and other administrative errors.[3] Nazarbayev accepted his resignation, and immediately appointed him acting Prime Minister.[4]
Akhmetov was included as Minister of Defense in the government that took office on 10 January 2007. He was dismissed from that post in June 2009. From November 11 , 2014 to June 16 , 2023 , he was äkim of the East Kazakhstan Region.[5]
