In May 2014, Oralov became First Deputy Chairman of the Nur branch under Nur Otan party in Astana until December 2016, where from there, he headed the Department for Youth Policy in the city.[2] During that period, Oralov was elected as a youngest member from the 20th electoral district to the Astana City Mäslihat of the 5th convocation in March 2016,[3] telling in an interview to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty: "My nomination to the mäslihat for me is actually a huge responsibility, a huge trust of our voters, the metropolitan leadership of the party's branch. For five years, I will try to justify these hopes."[4] From there, he pledged to support youth initiatives and youth entrepreneurship, by setting "the gloss of the capital's youth".[4]
On 3 January 2018, Oralov was appointed as the director of the Department of Youth Policy under the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Civil Society.[5] He worked in the post before transferring to Pavlodar Region to serve as a deputy äkım for the region's social issues on 12 April 2019.[6][7] On 13 July 2020, he returned to work in the central government as the Vice Minister of Information and Social Development.[8][9][10] Oralov served the post for nearly a year before being appointed as the deputy äkım of Nur-Sultan on 12 July 2021, where he oversaw social areas.[11][12] On January 4, 2023, was appointed Minister of Culture and Sports.[13]

editOn 2 February 2022, under party leader Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's decision, Oralov became the first Executive Secretary of Amanat, a new position formed after the post of First Deputy Chairman was disbanded.[14][15] This came shortly after Tokayev headed the party and called for the post to be abolished and be replaced with Executive Secretary, resulting in previous officeholder Bauyrjan Baibek, a close circle of former President Nursultan Nazarbayev being dismissed.[16]
