Currently one of his senior aides is under investigation by the country's anti-corruption body, Independent Agency Against Corruption.
MPP lawmaker Khayankhyarvaa Damdin said "because of the policy mistakes of (the) so-called reform government, the country's economic growth, which was 17.5 percent two years ago, decreased every year and now it looks it will be 6.3 percent."
The opposition also blames Altankhuyag for allowing embezzlement by his relatives and aides.
"Criminal actions which involve the prime minister's senior aide, assistant, son-in-law and daughter have been investigated by the anti-corruption agency and other relevant bodies," said Khayankhyarvaa.
Zorigt Munkhchuluun, an MDP member, also backed the dismissal of the prime minister, He put a paper on his desk with the words saying "I will not support father-in-law of Denzen".
Altankhuyag's senior deputy, Terbishdagva Dendev, will serve as acting prime minister before a new premier is appointed., and all current ministers will work as acting ministers till a new cabinet is formed.
