Speaker of the Parliament D.Amarbayasgalan made a public statement addressing the political turmoil surrounding the recent Mongolian People's Party (MPP) chairman election and allegations against his leadership.
D.Amarbayasgalan criticized what he described as an orchestrated campaign by members of the Executive Branch, alleging they are “slandering him without evidence” following the party leadership race. He claimed his former rival in the MPP election has refused to accept defeat and is using political influence to discredit him and hinder the functioning of the legislature. As evidence, he pointed to the failed meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice, which was unable to proceed due to what he described as pressure from government officials and certain MPs. He emphasized that despite 10 members registering for attendance, the meeting did not take place because the individuals levying accusations against him failed to attend.
D.Amarbayasgalan further alleged that the individual who falsely accused him of involvement in coal theft has since been rewarded with a ministerial position, calling this a troubling precedent.
Regarding serious allegations connecting him to a March 2, 2025 murder case, D.Amarbayasgalan stated that he had formally requested clarification from the General Police Directorate, which confirmed no investigation or witness testimony had been conducted related to him. He also addressed Justice Minister L.Munkhbaatar, urging him to ensure swift action from law enforcement bodies. “The police responded that the request to open a case had been sent to the prosecutor, but no actual investigation has taken place,” he added.
Meanwhile, MP B.Enkhbayar confirmed he has been nominated by Prime Minister G.Zandanshatar to serve as Minister of Justice and Home Affairs. He said formal procedures to present him to the President and Parliament are underway.
B.Enkhbayar also commented on recent news of his expulsion from the MPP, which he claimed was announced through the media and not through proper channels. “This so-called General Supervisory Committee has no constitutional authority. It is the same committee whose members were summoned as witnesses in the coal theft hearings,” B.Enkhbayar said, vowing to continue his political work independently. “I will not be expelled by coal thieves. I will expel coal thieves from this country”, B.Enkhbayйr said. 
In a parallel development, members from the main opposition Democratic Party (DP) expressed positions. Kh.Temuujin emphasized that Speaker D.Amarbayasgalan, as a participant in the MPP leadership contest, has a conflict of interest and should temporarily step aside from his duties until public concerns are addressed.
“If someone directly involved in these issues presides over parliamentary discussions, it creates a serious ethical and procedural conflict,” he said. The second major concern raised by the DP involves the 2026 national budget, which the party claims is being introduced without responsible leadership or proper ownership.
“The budget has no clear direction. Ministries are inactive. Even those entering Parliament as ministers lack credibility. Teachers, pensioners, and businesses are demanding answers, but no one is accountable,” Kh.Temuujin said.
The DP clarified that their faction is not attempting to disrupt parliament, but insists that parliamentary proceedings continue under the deputy speaker until the conflicts involving D.Amarbayasgalan and G.Zandanshatar are resolved.
“The Parliament is not stalled. We showed up, formed a quorum, and stayed in session. The real issue lies with those failing to lead responsibly during this critical time,” Kh.Temuujin concluded. As the government faces mounting pressure over the MPP leadership crisis and urgent national budget issues, the political standoff continues to grow.
