Government Is Dissolved After Coalition Crumbles

Mongolia's parliament dissolved its government after the biggest political party pulled out of the 15-month-old ruling coalition, prompting two days of protests amid complaints about poverty and corruption.

After the vote to dissolve the government of Prime Minister Tsakhiagiin Elbedorj, the premier was appointed to lead an interim administration.

The Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, which announced Wednesday that it was pulling out of the coalition, had said that it would try to form a government.
