The opposition MPP caucus members failed to attend today's plenary session meeting of Parliament voting on the nomination of Ch.Saikhanbileg for PM.

The MPP previously announced that the MPP would not support Ch.Saikhanbileg for PM, as he worked towards the ousting of the reform government as head of the Cabinet Secretariat for Government, and would not attend the plenary session meeting.

MPP caucus head S.Byambatsogt held a press conference after Ch.Saikhanbileg was approved as 28^th PM of Mongolia by parliament.

S.Byambatsogt said, “The DP should take responsibility, as it nominated the Head of the Cabinet Secretariat for Government under the former government for PM.”

The MPP caucus head also noted that the MPP would not work with the new government.

He added, “If Ch.Saikhanbileg carries proper policy, we will support him. If not, we will call the government to accountability.”

The MPP caucus head emphasized at the end of the press conference, “The DP accepted that the country is facing a real economic downturn, as the MPP warned of numerous times.”
