The Cabinet of Gombojavyn Zandanshatar (Mongolian: Гомбожавын Занданшатарын Засгийн газар) is the 21st and current Government of Mongolia during the 9th legislative session of the State Great Khural. It succeeded the previous cabinet led by Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene on 18 June 2025.[1]
During the 2025 anti-government protests, the previous prime minister Oyun-Erdene resigned after losing a motion of confidence on 3 June 2025.[2] The Mongolian People's Party, the majority party in the State Great Khural, during its Party Conference on 9 June, nominated former speaker of parliament, Gombojavyn Zandanshatar, to succeed Oyun-Erdene. Subsequently, on 13 June, he was voted unanimously by the State Great Khural as the next prime minister of Mongolia.[3][4] Later on 18 June, he unveiled a new coalition government, composed of the ruling Mongolian People's Party, the HUN Party, and the Civil Will–Green Party. The cabinet consisted of a total of 19 ministers (excluding the prime minister) and 15 ministries, which is a slight decrease from the previous cabinet, which had 20.[5]
The second-largest party in the State Great Khural, the Democratic Party, was expelled from the coalition government prior in May.
Government formation
The State Great Khural elected (108-9) former Chairman of the State Great Khural and Chief of Staff of the Office of the President, Gombojavyn Zandanshatar, in the early hours of June 13.[6]

On 17 June, the structure of the new cabinet was discussed during the Board Meeting of the MPP. Three national committees – the 20-Minute City National Committee, the National Committee for Port Revitalization, and the National Monitoring and Evaluation Committee – from the previous cabinet of Oyun-Erdene were dissolved. Moreover, it was stated that the HUN Party would remain as a coalition partner, and the National Coalition (NC) and Civil Will–Green Party (CWGP) were invited to the new coalition government.[7] The CWGP accepted the invitation while the NC did not respond. The same day, Prime Minister Zandanshatar presented his cabinet nominees to President Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh for appointment.[5]
The next day, on 18 June, the State Great Khural appointed and swore in 19 ministers, 10 of whom had their terms renewed.[8]
