Encyclopedic overview
Danial Kenjetaiūly Ahmetov (often transliterated as Daniyal Akhmetov, Kazakh: Даниал Кенжетайұлы Ахметов, [dɑnɯˈjɑɫ kʲenʐʲeˈtʰɑjo̙ˈɫɯ axˈmʲetʰɘf] ; born 15 June 1954) is a Kazakh politician who was the 6th Prime Minister of Kazakhstan from 13 June 2003 to 9 January 2007.
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. 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. Nazarbayev accepted his resignation, and immediately appointed him acting Prime Minister.
