Episode Description

SPECIAL EPISODE:
Mongolia saw unprecedented political crises in its democratic history. As Mongolia's ruling party—the Mongolian People's Party (MPP)—waged war within itself over the leadership position, the battle culminated in both Prime Minister Zandanshatar Gombojav and Speaker of the State Great Khural Amarbaysgalan Dashzegve being dismissed in a single parliamentary session.

Zandanshatar’s removal marks one of the shortest tenures for a Mongolian prime minister, a fate he might have avoided.

In this episode of The Great State Mural: Mongolia Portrayed, we break down what led to this turmoil, how party infighting brought the government to its knees, and what might come next for Mongolia’s political future.
