He served as deputy prime minister underKurmanbek Bakiyev and was made acting PM on 22 May 2002 after Akayev fired Bakiyev. He officially became PM eight days later when theSupreme Council confirmed him.
As prime minister he survived amotion of no confidence vote on 8 April 2004. The legislature voted 27 to 14 to remove him from office, short of the necessary 30 votes.[2]
He was the first ethnic non-Asian prime minister of Kyrgyzstan since independence.
On 24 March 2005 Tanayev resigned as prime minister in the midst of theTulip Revolution.

However, by June the Acting Prosecutor-General, Azimbek Beknazarov told Parliament that his office had issued an order for Tanayev's arrest. One of the charges relates to 40 millionsoms ($977,000) in state funds allegedly transferred to a company controlled by his son. He lived in exile inSt. Petersburg on 6 Bolshaya Morskaya Street.[3]
