The Cabinet of Gombojavyn Zandanshatar (Mongolian: Гомбожавын Занданшатарын Засгийн газар) was the 21st 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] and was succeeded by the cabinet of Nyam-Osoryn Uchral on 4 April 2026.[2]
During the 2025 anti-government protests, the previous prime minister Oyun-Erdene resigned after losing a motion of confidence on 3 June 2025.[3] 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.[4][5] 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.[6]
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.[7]

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.[8] 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.[6]
The next day, on 18 June, the State Great Khural appointed and swore in 19 ministers, 10 of whom had their terms renewed.[9]
