Sukhbaataryn Batbold was appointed Prime Minister of Mongolia on October 29, 2009, succeeding Sanjaagiin Bayar. He served until August 2012, leading the Mongolian People's Party government during a period of economic growth driven by mining investments.

Batbold was elected Chairman of the Mongolian People's Party in 2009, consolidating his leadership of the ruling party. He held this position until 2012, overseeing party strategy and policy direction during his premiership.

Batbold's government finalized the investment agreement for the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine with Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe Mines. The deal secured Mongolia's largest foreign investment, projected to generate significant revenue and employment, though it later faced disputes over revenue sharing.

Batbold's Mongolian People's Party lost the 2012 parliamentary election to the Democratic Party coalition. He stepped down as Prime Minister in August 2012, marking the end of his government and a shift in Mongolia's political landscape.
