Zharmakhan Aytbayuli Tuyakbay (Kazakh: Жармахан Айтбайұлы Тұяқбай Jarmaxan Aytbayulı Tuyaqbay; Russian: Жармахан Айтбаевич Туякбай Žarmaxan Ajtbaevič Tujakbaj; born on 22 November 1947 in South Kazakhstan Province of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic of the Soviet Union) is a Kazakh politician. At present, he is Chairman of the Nationwide Social Democratic Party and For a Just Kazakhstan political movement. Some analysts considered Tuyakbay the most significant challenger to Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev in the 2005 presidential elections.
In 1971 Chairman Tuyakbay graduated from the Law Department of the Kazakh State University. The Investigatory Department of the Shymkent Oblast Prosecutor Office recruited him. In 1981, Tuyakbay was appointed Deputy General Prosecutor of Kazakhstan. In December, 1986 the Government of The Soviet Union severely crushed protests in Almaty in response to the appointing of the new First Secretary of the Kazakh Communist Party, whose nationality was Russian. This riot, which subsequently was named Jeltoqsan lead to numerous resignations and shifts among top Kazakh officials. Tuyakbay was removed from his office and appointed Prosecutor of Mangghystau Province, and later Atyrau Province.
