Mawken Seyitqamzaüli was born in Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang, in November 1952. After a year of studying at the Translation Class of Qinghe County Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in July 1967, he became a sent-down youth in Dongfeng People's Commune (东风人民公社; 'East Wind People's Commune') and then Hongqi People's Commune (红旗人民公社; 'Red Flag People's Commune'). Since October 1972, he successively worked as a translator and interpreter in the Office of CCP Qinghe County Committee, CCP Altay Prefecture Committee, and CCP Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture Committee.

In February 1984, he rose to become deputy director of the Office of Altay Prefecture People's Government, and held that office until June 1992, when he was appointed director of the Commercial Office of Altay Prefecture. In June 1994, he was elevated to deputy secretary-general of Altay Prefecture People's Government, a position at department level. In December 1996, he became deputy governor of Altay Prefecture, rising to governor in May 2003. In September 2007, he took office as CCP Deputy Committee Secretary of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, concurrently holding the governor position two months later.
