Changes
[edit]Most of the cabinet members were first appointed after President Bagapsh came to power in 2005. Foreign Minister Sergei Shamba was one of the few Ministers to be re-appointed. Since then, the cabinet has undergone few changes.
- On 10 March 2006, Vice-Speaker of the People's Assembly of Abkhazia Alexander Stranichkin was appointed as vice-premier.[1]

- On 8 May 2007, Minister of Defence and Vice Premier Sultan Sosnaliyev resigned.[4] He was succeeded as defence minister (but not as vice premier) by First Deputy Defence Minister Mirab Kishmaria, in an acting fashion from 10 May and permanently from 26 July onwards.[5]
- On 6 August 2007, Yuri Aqaba was appointed Minister of Agriculture[6] after his predecessor Vitaly Smyr had been elected to parliament in the March 2007 election.

- After the December 2009 re-election of President Bagapsh, he replaced State Security Service Head Iuri Ashuba with Aslan Bzhania on 23 February 2010.[11] On 1 March, he released Valery Arshba as head of the Presidential Administration,[12] and on the next day appointed State Customs Committee Head Grigori Enik as his replacement,[13] who in turn was succeeded by his Deputy Said Tarkil.[14] On 12 March President Bagapsh approved the revised Cabinet structure.[15] The State Environmental Service was transformed into the State Committee for Ecology,[16] and on 7 April its chairman Roman Dbar was correspondingly re-appointed.[17] The team of Ministers was changed in three respects. Prime Minister Alexander Ankvab had been elected vice president together with Bagapsh, and one day after they were sworn in on 12 February 2010 he was succeeded by Foreign Minister Sergei Shamba,[18] who was succeeded by his deputy Maxim Gvinjia on 26 February.[19] Furthermore, Daur Tarba was re-appointed to the cabinet as vice premier on 24 February.[20]

- On 9 September 2010, President Bagapsh dismissed Anzor Mukba as chairman of the State Repatriation Committee and replaced him by Chief of the Cabinet Staff Zurab Adleiba, who was in turn replaced by Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs Daur Kove.[27]
- On 25 February 2011, Daur Tarba announced that he was resigning as vice-premier, without specifying his reasons.[28] His resignation was approved by President Bagapsh on 4 March.[29] Tarba was succeeded by Minister for Taxes and Fees Vakhtang Pipia on 30 March.[30] Pipia in turn was succeeded on 4 April by Rauf Tsimtsba, who had previously headed the Department for the Taxation of Legal Entities within the ministry.[31]
