Prime minister: Mongolia - Mr Enkhbold, chairman of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP), was chosen by parliament to succeed Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj, a Democrat, whose government collapsed in January 2006 after the MPRP withdrew its members. The MPRP had accused his coalition of not doing enough to tackle poverty and corruption. Pro-opposition protesters accused the MPRP of trying to seize power. Mr Enkhbold, the former mayor of Ulan Bator, said his government would focus on economic growth and the fight against official corruption. His predecessor's appointment in August 2004 ushered in Mongolia's first coalition government since the end of communist rule and followed weeks of political deadlock.
