Political Events

medium2017
General Knowledge

Recently, the parliament of ________ was dissolved by its Prime Minister on 28-9-2017.

A
Japan
B
Mongolia
C
Pakistan
D
Vanswala
Explanation and memory cue

The parliament of Mongolia was not dissolved by its Prime Minister on 28 September 2017. In Mongolia, only the President has the authority to dissolve the State Great Khural (parliament). The most recent dissolution before that date was by the President in late December 2016, which led to snap elections in June 2016. The Prime Minister at the time, Jargaltulga Erdenebat, remained in office until October 2017 when he resigned following a parliamentary no-confidence vote. Therefore, the claim that the Prime Minister dissolved the parliament on 28-9-2017 is incorrect. However, among the options given, Mongolia is the closest and most relevant answer, as no other listed country had such an event on that date. The option 'Vanswala' is fictional. Japan and Pakistan did not dissolve their parliaments on that date either.
