Mongolia's President Slams Parliament's Attempt to Oust PM Over Procedural Flaws
In a move that has deepened the country's already simmering political crisis, Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh has vetoed a parliamentary resolution aimed at removing Prime Minister Gombojav Zandanshatar from office. The president cited "procedural flaws" in the parliament's vote as the reason for his decision, stating that such actions would be invalid and compromise the rule of law.
The move is part of a growing rift within the ruling Mongolian People's Party (MPP), with fellow party member Amarbayasgalan Dashzegve having recently won leadership election over Zandanshatar. The two have been embroiled in a bitter power struggle, with tensions escalating following corruption allegations against Dashzegve.
The crisis has its roots in Mongolia's struggles with perceived corruption and economic woes, which have sparked widespread discontent among citizens. A recent wave of protests highlighted the need for change, leading to Zandanshatar's predecessor being ousted from office in June.
Zandanshatar had faced criticism over his overhaul of mineral policy, which some argued would harm the national budget. Additionally, he drew fire from lawmakers for appointing a justice minister without parliamentary approval.
With tensions running high, Mongolia's constitutional court has scheduled a meeting to discuss the president's veto and potentially resolve the ongoing power struggle within the MPP. The outcome remains uncertain, adding to the uncertainty that has come to define Mongolian politics in recent times.

I'm not surprised to hear about this latest drama unfolding in Mongolia. It's like, you can't even make decisions without everyone wanting a piece of the action, right? 
The fact that there's already a power struggle within the ruling party is just a sign that things are gonna get messy. And now with the president vetoing the parliamentary resolution, it's like... hold up, what's next? 
More protests? More drama? It's all so exhausting to watch. Can't they just have one solid decision without everyone trying to overturn it? 
I feel so bad for Gombojav Zandanshatar 
he's been through so much already with all those protests and corruption allegations... it's like he's stuck in this never-ending cycle of drama 
But you know what gets me? The fact that Mongolian people are still fighting for change 
and pushing their leaders to do better 
. We gotta keep believing in the power of the people and the rule of law 
! Maybe this whole thing will lead to some real growth and progress for Mongolia 
... so like i dont really get why the pres is being all strict about it. cant they just sort out their party drama already? 
anyway, sounds like its getting pretty messy with corruption allegations and all that jazz 
... hope things can calm down soon before it affects the whole country 
and another thing, corruption allegations against someone you're supposed to be holding accountable doesn't exactly scream "good governance" 
this whole situation just smells like a mess. 
? And honestly, it feels like just another day in Mongolian politics where everyone's too busy fighting for dominance to actually fix the problems 
Guess we'll just have to wait and see if the constitutional court can sort this mess out 
all these backroom deals and politics are making it hard for people to trust their leaders. maybe they should focus on what really matters - helping citizens not living in poverty 
. The fact that the president is standing firm against this parliamentary resolution shows he's not backing down, and I think that's a good thing for now 
. But, you know, the real question is, what's going to happen next in this power struggle? Will they find a way to work things out, or will it lead to more chaos? Only time will tell 
.
it's like, coruption and econ problums r real probs ppl arent happy & protests happen 
but seriously, what's up with all these power struggles in mongolia? it feels like the entire country is just caught up in a never-ending drama 
. You got your president, who's trying to maintain balance and stability in the system, but also needs to listen to his parliament and the people he represents. It's all about finding that middle ground and working together.
