Conventional wisdom around Ulaanbaatar leads to expectation that new cabinet will look largely like old cabinet, minus education energy, and finance ministers.

Credit to PM Zandanshatar for giving democratization in #Mongolia another shove, even if it's in the form of a deliberative poll.
https://montsame.mn/mn/read/394343
Even at outset of his prime ministership, distinguished along with frm Pres Elbegdorj for having championed form of democratization.
Ironic that conversation on #SovereignWealthFund may just be getting started as Zandanshatar's time as PM may be ending...

Last Fall, @marissa_j_smith & I entitled a blog post, "The Zandanshatar Crisis that Unhappened (And What Happens Next?)". Maybe we need to retitle it "The Fall 2025 Zandanshatar Crisis" to distinguish it from what is happening right now...

According to ikon.mn Exec Council of #Mongolia -n People's Party has accepted resignation of PM Zandanshatar.
https://ikon.mn/n/3mdaBut in various moments of 🇲🇳 government turmoil, we've all read/heard such announcements in the past, only for nothing to really happen...
Ball would now seem to be in MPP Gen Assembly court.
Need a refresher on MPP party bodies?

#Mongolia news reporting that MPP Exec Council has accepted PM Zandanshatar resignation.
But note that in previous similar moments, such seemingly definite news have not turned out to be as definite as they initially sound.
