ULAN BATOR - Mongolia is expected to form a coalition government following recent political developments.

The opposition Hun Party announced on its official social media platform Wednesday evening that it had agreed to form a coalition government with the ruling Mongolian People's Party (MPP).

So far, the MPP has proposed forming a coalition government only with the Hun Party.

The development came after Nyam-Osor Uchral, chairman of the MPP, was appointed Mongolia's 35th prime minister on Monday after being nominated by the party.

His appointment followed the resignation of former Prime Minister Gombojav Zandanshatar, who stepped down at his own request last week.

In the 2024 parliamentary elections, the MPP won a narrow majority, securing 68 of the 126 seats. The Hun Party secured eight seats.
