The First Daniyal Akhmetov Government (; ) was the 7th government in Kazakhstan, led by Prime Minister Daniyal Akhmetov. President Nursultan Nazarbayev nominated Akhmetov at a joint session of the Parliament to be Prime Minister on 13 June 2003, emphasizing that the country needed a government led by someone with significant regional governing experience. Nazarbayev highlighted Akhmetov’s tenure as the akim of Pavlodar Region as a reason for his selection, aiming to accelerate the pace of social and economic development. Akhmetov was approved by a wide margin, with 73 out of 77 deputies from the Mäjilis and 36 out of 39 deputies from the Senate supporting his appointment.New Kazakh Prime Minister chosen Templeton Thorp

Following the 2005 presidential election, Akhmetov resigned on 18 January 2006, but was reappointed shortly afterward by President Nazarbayev, forming a new government under his leadership.
