Mongolian PM Resigns After Son’s Corruption Allegations. 

Yesterday, the Mongolian prime minister, Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene, resigned after receiving a no-confidence vote. According to a report from the BBC, Oyun-Erdene’s son and his girlfriend posted an image of a black Dior handbag and other shopping bags full of luxury goods. Mongolia has a history of corruption, with the former prime minister, Sukhbaatar Batbold, having allegedly bought two luxury apartments in New York City with misappropriated mining funds. According to a report in Al Jazeera, Oyun Erdene needed 72 parliamentarians to survive the no-confidence result. However, he only received 44 votes. This is just another in a long line of political upheavals related to corruption in Mongolia’s history.
