Mongolian prime minister Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene has resigned after losing a confidence vote in parliament. The vote followed days of mass protests over corruption allegations - fuelled by social media posts about his son's lavish birthday party and engagement. Oyun-Erdene, who took office in 2021, will remain as caretaker PM until a successor is appointed within 30 days.
"It was an honour to serve my country and people in times of difficulties, including pandemics, wars, and tariffs," he said after the vote.
