MPRP to nominate a different candidate www.montsame.mn
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Following the rejection of its presidential nominee N.Enkhbayar by General Election Commission on May 14, Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party (MPRP) holds a conference today, May 16 to select a new nominee for the upcoming Presidential Election.
On May 14, the General Election Commission reported that it registers two nominees – M.Enkhbold, nominee of Mongolian People’s Party and Kh.Battulga, nominee of Democratic Party and rejects MPRP nominee N.Enkhbayar on the grounds of three faults in his file.
In cases of objections to registering a nominee, the election law regulates that the party can either submit the pending documents or propose a different nominee. MPRP thus meets today to select a different nominee to represent the party in the election.
At the moment, it’s clear that the nomination of member of MPRP, lawyer S.Narangerel is up for discussion at the conference, and no other name has been publicly announced by the party.
The General Election Commission will make a public and final announcement on the presidential candidates on May 17, Wednesday.
