Since March 31, 37,337 people had signed a petition calling for the dismissal of Mayor Kh.Nyambaatar.

The petition is being collected on the www.uih.mn website and is addressed to Prime Minister N.Uchral in order to protect civil and public interests guaranteed by the Constitution and relevant laws.

The petition states that Kh.Nyambaatar, Governor of the Capital City and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar, may have created conditions that constitute ethical and legal violations in the exercise of his official duties. The petition cites several concerns, including the organization of demonstrations against citizens and incitement of the public.

It alleges that, in response to citizens’ opinions and protests, the city administration has used civil servants and party members to organize counter-demonstrations and gatherings, thereby directly and indirectly affecting citizens’ constitutional rights to express their views and hold peaceful demonstrations, while also fostering division among the public.

The petition further states that organizing actions against citizens through a state institution is incompatible with democratic governance principles. 

It also raises concerns over human rights violations and inappropriate conduct, saying that Kh.Nyambaatar has verbally insulted and slandered citizens and journalists who have made lawful demands. It claims that during demonstrations, he labeled citizens as “terrorists,” disclosed citizens’ home addresses, and displayed behavior unfit for a public official.

The petition also criticizes what it describes as opaque and inefficient budget spending. It says that during Nyambaatar’s tenure, the capital city’s total budget expenditure increased sharply from MNT 1 trillion 277.9 billion to MNT 5 trillion 866 billion, while implementation results, social impact, budget transparency, and oversight mechanisms remain insufficient and unclear to the public.

It further argues that high-value investment projects have been implemented inefficiently, underperformed, or not carried out as planned, raising concerns over whether the principle of fiscal responsibility has been compromised.
