A Constitutional reform was proposed by Mongolian Prime Minister L.Oyun-Erdene. The proposed reform would transition Mongolia from a semi-presidential republic to a traditional parliamentary republic.

The current 1992 constitution established a multi-party political system in Mongolia’s semi-presidential republic. That meant that the executive power is divided equally between the people-elected President and the Parliament-elected Prime Minister.

L.Oyun-Erdene advocated exploring constitutional reform and a transition to a parliamentary republic, as he argued that such a transition is integral to improve the policy-making process which has been impeded by periodic disagreements between the President and the PM.

The PM emphasized that there are alternative methods to effect changes without a total constitutional revision, such as amending certain provisions of the country’s fundamental legislation.
