Mongolian Prime Minister Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene resigned after failing to secure enough support in a confidence vote, a parliamentary statement said.
It comes after weeks of public protests against allegations of corruption.
Citizens demanded answers over unaccounted income and viral photos of his son’s lavish getaway.
Oyun-Erdene received just 44 votes in the 126-seat parliament, well below the 64 needed to remain in office.
Following the declaration of the results, Oyun-Erdene said: “It was an honor to serve my country and people in times of difficulties, including pandemics, wars, and tariffs.”
He will remain a caretaker role until a successor is appointed within 30 days.
