Protests against prime minister in Mongolia could lead to government shake-up

Hundreds of mostly young protesters in Ulaanbaatar have called for Prime Minister Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene's resignation amid allegations of corruption in May 2025.
The protests follow a social media post showing a lavish gift linked to the prime minister's family, which intensified longstanding public anger over corruption and inequality.
The demonstrators have occupied Sukhbaatar Square for nine days, demanding resignation while coalition leaders meet amid an emerging rift after the largest party ejected its junior partner.
Protest organizer Ulamsaikhan said, "The prime minister has to resign" to establish accountability, but the prime minister’s office called the claims a "smear" and denied wrongdoing.
These events suggest growing political instability as Mongolia grapples with corruption accusations, economic worries, and a coalition government facing possible collapse.
