Mongolia amends constitution in bid to end political instability 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersULAANBAATAR – Mongolia has amended its constitution for the second time since it was ratified in 1992, strengthening the powers of the prime minister in a bid to end years of costly political instability and economic stagnation. In Mongolia’s hybrid political system, power has been shared by an elected president and the government, which is appointed by parliament and headed by a prime minister. The president, who usually comes from the political party in opposition, is able to veto legislation and propose his own. “We needed to fix this and if we give more power to the prime minister – we need also to have a strong minority to control or monitor the prime minister,” she added.
