Ulaanbaatar, July 8, 2024 /MONTSAME/. The plenary session of the newly formed expanded State Great Khural convened on July 5 and appointed Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai
as the Prime Minister of Mongolia by 100 percent votes.
A resolution was approved in
connection with the appointment and the resolution came into force from the
date of approval.
Prime Minister L. Oyun-Erdene gave a speech,
noting in the beginning that,
"President of Mongolia!
Chairman of the Great Khural of
Mongolia, dear members!
Dear Mongolians!
First of all, I would like to thank
you, a citizen of democratic Mongolia, for having exercised your rights, fulfilled
your duties, and actively participated in the elections!
With this ninth parliamentary election
since the transition to a democratic system, we Mongolians have left the
territorially-based 76-member parliament as history, and are starting a new era
of parliament with 126 representatives who are the voice of many parties,
social groups, and sectors. Our people welcomed the election morning by likening
it to the days after the democratic change in 1990.
This parliament is made up of representatives of multi-parties, and for the first time, 32 women members were elected, which is 25 percent of the total number of members, surpassing the average indicator in the Asian continent.
Also, the new parliament is composed
of the largest number of engineers, scientists, university professors, experts,
doctors, teachers, people with developmental challenges, representatives of Mongolians living abroad, the Chamber
of Commerce and Industry, Mongolian Trade Unions, mass media and civil society
organizations. 81 new members were elected to this parliament, which is 64
percent of the total number of members. Therefore, this is the victory of the
people and the beginning of a new 30 years.”
Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene highlighted
that the people of Mongolia have made this choice as they want to bring the
democratic revolution to their original values and destroy the system of
corruption completely.
Prime Minister congratulated and wished
success to the MPs- the representatives of the people, who have taken the oath
and started exercising their powers and duties, as well as to newly- elected Chairman
of the State Great Khural Amarbayasgalan Dashzegve."
