Ulan Bator, June 3
Mongolia's Parliament Speaker D Amarbayasgalan said on Tuesday that since the State Great Khural (Parliament), did not pass the draft resolution on the vote of confidence in the Prime Minister, then Prime Minister Luvsannamsrai Oyun-Erdene was deemed to have resigned.
Oyun-Erdene convened a regular meeting of the government on May 28 and submitted the draft resolution on the vote of confidence in the Prime Minister to the State Great Khural.
The Mongolian Constitution stipulates that if the draft resolution is not passed, the Prime Minister is deemed to have resigned and a new one will be appointed within 30 days, news agency reported.
Oyun-Erdene has served as the Prime Minister of Mongolia since January 2021. He was re-elected in July 2024.
“It was a privilege to serve my country and people through challenging times, including pandemics, wars, and trade conflicts,” Oyun-Erdene said following the vote.
He was forced to step down after failing to secure a parliamentary majority — falling short of the 64 votes needed in the 126-seat legislature. Out of 82 lawmakers who participated in the secret ballot, 44 supported him while 38 voted against.
