Ulaanbaatar, October 20 (Xinhua) — Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh vetoed the State Great Khural (parliament)'s October 17 resolution dismissing Prime Minister Gombojavyn Zandanshatar. This was announced at a briefing by Chief of the Presidential Administration Altankhuyagiin Uilstuguldur.

In his veto message, U. Khurelsukh stated that "the voting formula was incorrectly applied when discussing this issue at the plenary session of the State Great Khural. Furthermore, the turnout for the session was calculated based on the turnout on October 16. When the plenary session was convened on October 17, the turnout should have been determined anew."

On October 17, the Mongolian Parliament adopted a resolution to remove Gombojavyn Zandanshatar from office. The draft resolution was approved by 64% of the vote.

On June 13, G. Zandanshatar was appointed Prime Minister at the proposal of the ruling Mongolian People's Party. –0–
