Politics
Ulaanbaatar, October 23, 2025 /MONTSAME/. The Full Bench of the Constitutional Court of Mongolia has ruled that Resolution No. 95 of 2025 of the State Great Khural (Parliament) of Mongolia, which dismissed the Prime Minister, violates the Constitution.
Specifically, during its Full Bench session held on October 22, 2025, the Constitutional Court reviewed the dispute concerning the actions of Deputy Speaker of the State Great Khural Kh. Bulgantuya and the legality of the Resolution No. 95 of October 17, 2025, entitled “On the Dismissal of the Prime Minister of Mongolia.” Following deliberation, the Court issued Conclusion No. 08, determining that the resolution breached relevant provisions of the Constitution.
The Court concluded that while presiding over the plenary session of the State Great Khural, Member of Parliament Bulgantuya Khurelbaatar violated:
Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution, which states, “Democracy and the rule of law are the fundamental principles of the activities of the State,” and
Article 43, Paragraph 1, which stipulates, “If not less than one-fourth of the Members of the State Great Khural formally propose the dismissal of the Prime Minister, the State Great Khural shall begin discussion three days thereafter and decide the matter within ten days. If a majority of all Members of the State Great Khural vote in favor of the proposal, the Prime Minister shall be deemed dismissed, and a new Prime Minister must be appointed within thirty days.
Furthermore, the Court ruled that Resolution No. 95 of 2025 titled “On the Dismissal of the Prime Minister of Mongolia” also violates:
Article 1, Paragraph 2: Democracy and the rule of law are the fundamental principles of the activities of the State.
Article 43, Paragraph 1, regarding the procedure for proposing and deciding on the dismissal of the Prime Minister, and
Article 76, Paragraph 1, which provides that “All laws, decrees, and other decisions of State bodies, as well as the activities of all organizations and citizens, shall fully conform to the Constitution.”
The Constitutional Court, therefore, concluded that both the procedural conduct during the parliamentary session and the resulting resolution to dismiss the Prime Minister were inconsistent with the Constitution of Mongolia.
