Representatives of parties without seats in parliament met recently to re-submit a petition calling for the resignation of Prime Minister N.Altankhuyag.

Last June, the parties demanded the Premier's resignation, claiming that the Law on Land, and Minerals Law initiated by the Government violated the Constitution, was a cause of rising corruption in Mongolia, and responsible for economic failures.

This time, the parties claim that the Prime Minister violated the law by seeing his senior advisor, L.Gansukh, without permission. L.Gansukh is currently being held in a detention center in Tuv aimag.

The parties insisted that the Prime Minister should resign.  They delivered their petition to Speaker of the State Great Khural, Z.Enkhbold and parliamentarians  today, on August 12th.
