Mongolian government survives parliamentary vote on dismissal

Majority of Mongolian lawmakers voted against dismissal of Prime Minister Khurelsukh Ukhnaa amidst corruption allegation involving top officials and lawmakers. 
40 lawmakers voted Nay against dismissal versus 33 that voted Yea. 


The scandal polarized the Mongolian public and divided the ruling Mongolian People's Party into opposing factions led by PM and Speaker. 

PM and his faction demanded resignation of Speaker Enkbhold Mieygombo calling him god-father of corrupt special interest business group comprised of both ruling and opposition party members. 

During the heated debate, PM vowed to continue his struggle against corruption and for justice and hold all involved in corruption accountable before court and according to party discipline.
