Mongolian lawmakers on June 13 confirmed former top diplomat G.Zandanshatar as the country’s new prime minister, after his predecessor resigned following weeks of anti-corruption protests. G.Zandanshatar – also from L.Oyun-Erdene’s ruling Mongolian People’s Party (MPP) – was elected as his replacement in the early hours of June 13, with 108 out of 117 present voting in favour.

New Prime Minister of Mongolia G.Zandanshatar retained a third of the previous government on June 17, 2025.
