According to Section 16.2 of the Act of Parliament stating that more than one-third of MPs (26) has the authority to call an irregular session during Parliament’s recess, they are demanding the Speaker of Parliament to review the demand for Cabinet’s resignation within two weeks.

He added that the government is granting some ministers concession agreements worth 800 billion MNT in road, transportation and energy sectors. The MP stated that instead of dealing with challenges such salary and pension increases and class size reduction at public schools, the government is granting loans to its members’ private companies. MP L.Oyun-Erdene said that as public approval for government operations have already dropped under 20 percent, the government should resign.
