Amarbaysgalan Declared MPP Leader After Boycotted Rerun as Legitimacy Is Disputed

Formal recognition hinges on executive deliberation followed by Supreme Court registration within set deadlines.

Overview

  • An initial secret ballot gave D. Amarbaysgalan about 58% and G. Zandanshatar about 44%, short of the two‑thirds threshold required by party rules.
  • The Counting Commission adopted a multi‑round, secret‑ballot procedure and proceeded to a rerun after re‑registering attendance.
  • In the second round, 321 members participated, 46 ballots were invalid, and 275 valid ballots delivered 85.67% for Amarbaysgalan.
  • The party’s Legal Department argued the rerun was unlawful because the previous leader had not formally vacated the post, a position contested by delegates.
  • The executive board is set to determine the party’s course as the Supreme Court handles leader registration within roughly 60–90 days, and the national congress is scheduled for November 15–16.
