Abdumalik Abdullajanov

Abdumalik Abdullayevich Abdullajanov (born 1 January 1949) is a Tajikistani engineer and politician, born in Leninabad. He served as the third prime minister of Tajikistan from 21 September 1992 to 18 December 1993. He resigned as Prime Minister to become Tajikistan's first ambassador to Russia.

In 1994, he ran in the second presidential elections in Tajikistan but, according to official reports, lost to Emomali Rahmon, Tajikistan's current president. On 4 April 2013 Ukraine freed Abdullajanov from detention and refused a request to extradite him to his homeland.

Rumors have circulated that "Abdullajanov would support an opposition candidate who has not yet declared his participation" in the November 2013 Tajikistani presidential election, but because Abdullajanov has not been interviewed for a long time his stand on the issue is unclear.
