Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Today on August 23, some members of the Mongolian People’s Party group in the Parliament submitted a petition to dismiss Prime Minister of Mongolia J.Erdenebat.

As Speaker of the Parliament M.Enkhbold is absent currently, Deputy Speaker Ya.Sanjmyatav received the petition, signed by 30 MPs. The Mongolian People's Party has 65 seats in Parliament.

MP T.Ayursaikhan underlined "- J.Erdenebat has repeatedly violated Mongolian legislation with his decisions and actions since his appointment. Those actions and decisions were to serve the interests of few groups, but not for the interests of Mongolia. Moreover, with the 2017 presidential election, the people of Mongolia passed their evaluation to activities of the Cabinet. Therefore certain MPs are putting their proposal to dismiss the PM”.

According to the Constitution, this issue should be discussed and resolved within 15 days. The MPs also demanded to call irregular Parliamentary session, attaching their request to the petition. Irregular session should be called, when more than one third of the MPs or 26 MPs require it.
