Oyun-Erdene faced fierce criticism for his family's extravagant lifestyle, which sparked an online campaign revealing his son's monumental birthday party and luxury purchases. Despite denying any wrongdoing and fending off claims of corruption as a smear, he fell short during a secret ballot that needed a majority of votes to retain his position.
