"In accordance with the constitution, the head of state has accepted my resignation," Akhmetov told a government meeting. "I want to thank President Nursultan Nazarbayev on behalf of myslef and my government for his trust."
Akhmetov said his government will keep doing its duty until a new government is formed.
Akhmetov (55), a former first deputy prime minister, had been leading the government since September 2012. (*)
