The Constitutional Court of Mongolia has ruled that the State Great Khural’s Resolution No. 95 of 2025, which dismissed the Prime Minister, violates the Constitution. This decision underscores the importance of proper parliamentary procedures in Mongolia’s democratic framework.
On October 22, 2025, the Court’s Full Bench reviewed the actions of Deputy Speaker Kh. Bulgantuya and the legality of the dismissal resolution. After deliberation, the Court issued Conclusion No. 08, finding multiple constitutional breaches.
The Court determined that Deputy Speaker Bulgantuya violated Article 1, Paragraph 2, which emphasizes democracy and the rule of law. She also breached Article 43, Paragraph 1, which specifies how the State Great Khural should propose and decide on the dismissal of the Prime Minister. The article requires a minimum of one-fourth of Members to submit a dismissal proposal, followed by discussion within three days and a decision within ten days. A new Prime Minister must then be appointed within thirty days.
Moreover, Resolution No. 95 breached Article 1, Paragraph 2, Article 43, Paragraph 1, and Article 76, Paragraph 1, which mandates that all laws, decrees, and state decisions conform fully to the Constitution. The Court concluded that both the parliamentary session procedures and the resolution itself failed to meet constitutional standards.
Legal experts noted that this ruling reinforces the supremacy of constitutional law over parliamentary actions. Political analysts say it could prompt debates about oversight and procedural reforms within Mongolia’s legislature.
The decision also carries political implications. It may affect future government stability and influence how lawmakers handle prime ministerial appointments or dismissals. Officials must now adhere strictly to constitutional guidelines to prevent further disputes.
Going forward, the Court’s ruling is likely to guide the State Great Khural in reviewing its internal processes. Observers expect lawmakers to adjust voting procedures and enhance transparency to maintain public trust.
