Reports of the deteriorating health of ex-PM and MPRP head S.Bayar are causing consternation in the party. He is now in the USA but the rumor is that he has been too ill to speak to anybody here. Groups within the party are calling for a general meeting urgently.

It is said that MP Ts.Davaasuren, young MPRP member J.Enkhbayar and S.Byambatsogt are the leaders of protestors. Party’s Secretary General and Administrative Board members are all people who were handpicked by S.Bayar. Thus, in order to announce the meeting and dismiss S.Bayar as party head, there is no other option but to change the board. Considering that S.Bayar was appointed in December Even the Health Minister and S.Bayar’s doctor are not informed about his health.

It is said that only a handful of people are in touch with the MPRP leader through U.Khurelsukh, Secretary General, who would only say to journalists that Bayar’s health is okay.

Bayar’s dismissal could see the end of the coalition government.
