During an extraordinary session of the CTSO on 10 January 2022, President Tokayev announced that he would submit proposed candidacies for ministerial posts to the Parliament the following day to form a new cabinet.^[6] On 11 January, at the lower house Majilis session, Tokayev named Smaiylov for prime ministerial candidacy where he was unanimously elected by all present 89 deputies across party lines.^[7]
