The Mongolian People's Party's conference was scheduled to be held today but was postponed. The PM delivered requests to parties in parliament to form a coalition government but the MPP has not responded to his request yet. The opposition would have discussed this issue during today's conference.

Secretary General of the MPP J.Munkhbat stated that the reason for postponing the conference was the fact that negotiations between the MPP caucus and DP caucus had failed.

J.Munkhbat also commented, “The negotiations were not about the number of posts in the new cabinet. The two parties caucuses negotiated on how to end the economic downturn, and how to seek better solutions on the massive Oyu Tolgoi and Tavan Tolgoi projects and agreements with investors. The MPP wants to solve these issues.”

The PM must submit the names of the ministers of his new government to Parliament within 14 days of taking his post.  Now, the PM is waiting for the MPP's answer to whether or not they will collaborate with the government.

The MPP announced earlier that it would not work with the PM in the new government. But the party has recently stopped commenting on the issue.

The PM is expected to submit the structure of his cabinet before December 5^th.
