  • As the MPP heads into its September 27 congress, senior figures traded public allegations and a party secretary was arrested, and the anti‑corruption agency warned officials not to interfere in or politicize its work.
  • Ulaanbaatar authorities reported 49 carbon‑monoxide incident calls this month with 152 exposures and multiple fatalities, and they are expanding detector installations, household inspections and Hotula app alerts.
  • City and state bodies outlined gas‑fired heat projects, including a 93 MW plant near Denzhii Myanga moving to international tender this year and a 112 MW facility by Han Hills slated to start construction in 2026 to relieve peak load.
  • A bill to revise Political Parties Law provisions on financing was formally submitted, seeking to ease one‑account limits and other rules that lawmakers say hinder party operations and transparency.
