Mongolian Prime Minister Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene has resigned after losing a vote of confidence amid weeks of anticorruption protests.
Oyun-Erdene announced his resignation on Tuesday after Parliament failed to back him in a confidence vote the previous day, a parliamentary statement said.
Oyun-Erdene, who spent more than four years in office, had denied the corruption allegations against him. In an address to Parliament before the vote, he blamed “major, visible and hidden interests” for waging an “organised campaign” to bring down the government.
