It was formed on 29 April 2015, following the re-election of President Nursultan Nazarbayev in the 2015 presidential election.

The newly formed government was swiftly approved by the Parliament on 30 April 2015. Many ministers from the previous cabinet retained their positions, while new appointments were made in key ministries, reflecting the administration's goal of ensuring economic stability amidst ongoing economic stagnation.[2]
The government continued its tenure until 8 September 2016, when President Nazarbayev appointed Massimov as the head of the National Security Committee, marking the end of Massimov's fourth term as prime minister. His first deputy, Bakhytzhan Sagintayev, succeeded him as the head of the government after being confirmed by Parliament the following day.[3]
