ULAN BATOR, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- Mayor of Mongolia's capital Ulan Bator, Sundui Batbold, announced his resignation Tuesday after the country's Prime Minister demanded him to resign.
In an official letter to the Citizens' Representative Council of Ulan Bator on Nov. 12, Prime Minister Ukhnaa Khurelsukh accused Batbold of not fulfilling his duties.
On Tuesday, the council discussed Khurelsukh's proposal but failed to make a decision.
However, Batbold decided to submit his resignation letter.
"Mutual understanding between the prime minister and city mayor is crucial in making decisions in the interests of Ulan Bator residents. So, I decided to resign from my position within December 5 for some 1.5 million residents of the city," the mayor said in his resignation statement.
