Predecessor	Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh's First cabinet (2017–2020)

The Cabinet of Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh, was established following the 2017 Mongolian presidential election, and the election by the Mongolian parliament of Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh to the office of the Prime Minister of Mongolia on 4 October 2017. The cabinet was submitted for approval on 13 October, and sworn in on 18 October

On June 24, 2020, Mongolian People's Party was re-elected to the parliament with a landslide victory.

On July 7, 2020, the Mongolian parliament approved Khürelsükh's cabinet structure of 14 ministries: six general and eight functional. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Sports was split into Ministry of Education and Science and Ministry of Culture. The total ministers are 17: Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Cabinet Secretary, and the heads of the 14 ministries. Following the protests on January 20, U. Khurelsukh's government decided to resign at its own request. Parliamentary debates began on January 27 with the support of the President of Mongolia to elect L.Oyun-Erdene as the 32nd Prime Minister.

The new cabinet, composed largely of technocrats and non-politicians, was confirmed and sworn in this week, signaling a potential shift towards a more technocratic approach to governance. Notably, recent constitutional amendments barring lawmakers from holding cabinet positions have contributed to the influx of new faces.
