2007 Kazakh political shakeup

The change in the Kazakh political hierarchy of 2007 began on 8 January 2007 when Prime Minister Daniyal Akhmetov unexpectedly resigned, which led to the Senate's confirmation of Karim Masimov as his replacement on 11 January. Akhmetov did not state the reason for the resignation, but political analysts noted increasing criticism from President Nursultan Nazarbayev of his oversight of the economy.
