Constitutional Court Revives Zandanshatar’s Government in Mongolia

It’s alive — it’s alive! Much like Frankenstein’s resurrection, Mongolia’s Constitutional Court has brought the government back to life.It’s been a turbulent month in Mongolian politics. The ruling party’s leadership battle fractured the party, government, and parliament—leading to the ouster of the prime minister and the resignation of the speaker. But in a dramatic turn, the Constitutional Court ruled the vote to dismiss the prime minister unconstitutional, marking a major moment in Mongolia’s legal and political history.This ruling reaffirms Mongolia as a nation governed by law — yet it also raises new questions about the limits of power in a single-chamber parliament.In this episode of The Great State Mural, lawyer Manduul Altangerel joins us to unpack the implications of the Constitutional Court’s decision and what it means for Mongolia’s political and legal systems.If you have any suggestions for our show, please get in touch with us at info[at]agulamedia.comAnd if you are a supporter of us at Buy Me Coffee ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Great State Mural.
