Caucus leader of the Mongolian People’s Party D.Khayankhyarvaa introduced the nominations, which will be submitted to Parliament after consultation with President Kh.Battulga and the Independent Authority against Corruption (IAAC).

“The caucus of MPP has discussed the issue of appointing the new Cabinet. The nominations set forth by the board of MPP were presented to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will then present it to the President. If possible, we want to form our Cabinet today or tomorrow,” stated D.Khayankhyarvaa.
