The government of Kazakhstan resigned before the beginning of the first session of the Parliament of the VIII convocation, APA reports citing AKI Press.
The corresponding presidential decree was signed and published on the Akorda website.
"In accordance with Constitution of Kazakhstan and the Constitutional Law on the government, in connection with the resignation of the government to the newly elected lower house of the Parliament, I order the government to fulfill duties until approval of its new composition," the decree says.

Alikhan Smailov's government was formed shortly after the January protests and functioned for more than a year.
