"Oyun-Erdene lost a vote of confidence in parliament, failing to secure a majority, resulting in his resignation amid ongoing protests accusing him of corruption."
"After the no-confidence vote, the coalition government will cease to exist, but the ruling Mongolian People's Party is expected to form a new government."
Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrain, Mongolia's Prime Minister since 2021, resigned after losing a parliamentary vote of confidence due to corruption allegations. He received only 44 votes in support from 82 participating lawmakers, falling short of the required majority in the 126-seat parliament. Despite his party retaining a majority, discontent over perceived lavish spending by his family fueled public outcry. His resignation is part of a broader political struggle against corruption in Mongolia, a country dealing with poverty amongst its mineral resources. Oyun-Erdene will serve as caretaker until a successor is appointed within 30 days.
