Tuyaa was the foreign minister in the Democratic Party-led government under Janlavyn Narantsatsralt, being appointed in 1998. When this government was forced to resign the following year, she became acting Prime Minister for a short time before parliament elected Rinchinnyamyn Amarjargal.

She herself lost her seat in parliament (for a district in Khentii Province) in the same elections, which saw the People's Revolution Party win all but four of the seats.
