Mongolian Prime Minister Miegombyn Enkhbold has submitted his resignation letter to the State Great Hural (parliament) of Mongolia.  

Enkhbold said in the Monday letter that after losing the support of his own party, he could not fulfill his responsibilities as Prime Minister.  

Enkhbold chose to step down following his defeat in the October election for the leadership of the MPRP. Party official, Sanj Bayar, was elected party chairman and was endorsed by party delegates to become the next Prime Minister 

The MPRP, with more than 160,000 members, holds 39 seats in the 76-seat parliament and formed a coalition government after Enkhbold was elected prime minister in January 2006.
