Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene

Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene (Mongolian: Лувсаннамсрайн Оюун-Эрдэнэ; born 29 June 1980), also referred to as Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai, is a Mongolian politician who served as the 31st prime minister of Mongolia from 2021 to 2025. He was elected to the State Great Khural (Parliament) three times from 2016 to 2025. After losing a vote of no confidence amid the 2025 Mongolian protests, Oyun-Erdene resigned on 3 June and served as a caretaker until his successor, Gombojavyn Zandanshatar, was appointed on 13 June 2025. The State Great Khural re-appointed Oyun-Erdene as the prime minister of Mongolia on 5 July 2024, following Mongolian People's Party's third-term election victory in the 2024 parliamentary election. Although the Mongolian People's Party secured a parliamentary majority, Oyun-Erdene chose to form a "grand coalition" government with the opposition parties. As Prime Minister, Oyun-Erdene launched the New Recovery Policy following the COVID-19 pandemic, as part of Mongolia's Vision 2050 development plan. He also introduced E-Mongolia, a digital government platform, and constitutional amendments to expand parliament and adopt a mixed-member proportional system. Before becoming prime minister, Oyun-Erdene was a Minister and Chief of the Cabinet Secretariat of the government of Mongolia from 2 February 2019 to 27 January 2021.
