Mongolia's Prime Minister Gombojav Zandanshatar has resigned amidst months of political turmoil, voluntarily stepping down at a "challenging time."

Gombojav Zandanshatar, whose cabinet served for about nine months, is expected to be replaced by Uchral Nyam-Osor, the speaker of parliament.
The resignation threatens further destabilisation, with the opposition Democratic Party of Mongolia boycotting parliament over allegations of corruption against Uchral Nyam-Osor.
