The Executive Board of the former ruling party, MPP, the Mongolian People`s Party, held an expanded meeting on Tuesday April 9th.

During the meeting members of MPP discussed the petition for the Prime Minister to take responsibility and whether they should take action as the opposition. They gave directions to the MPP caucus in Parliament to submit the petition to Parliament.

MPP members believe that Norov Altankhuyag should resign because they claim he broke Constitution law by appointing acting Governors to some provinces instead of approving Governors. The Administrative Court ruled on Monday that it was illegal as the Prime Minister still hesitated to approve a Governor to Dornod province.

Therefore if the Prime Minister does not revise his decision he faces fine or arrest according to law.

MPP also blames the Prime Minister for making an irrevocable speech that could cause negative influence and bad effects to national independence, security, society and economic growth as a premier during an official meeting with the leaders of Russia and China.

MPP also claims that the Prime Minister spends the Government’s budget like water and violated the law by illegally dismissing state servants.

MPP only criticizes the Prime Minister and not the Government. Therefore the MPP caucus will submit a petition to Parliament calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Norov Altankhuyag.
