On 25 February 2019, Omarov was appointed as the Minister of Agriculture after the previous government was dismissed.[4][5] On 10 July 2021, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev called for resignation of Omarov, citing his failure in dealing with a drought which severely affected the Mangystau and Kyzylorda regions that resulted in deaths of cattle and the inflated prices for livestock products.[6][7] That same day under a presidential decree, Omarov was relieved from his post.[8][9] From there, he was subsequently replaced by Erbol Qaraşukeev whom became an acting Agriculture Minister.[10][11]
