Overview

• Delegates at the party’s Baga Khural nominated Speaker D. Amarbaysgalan and Prime Minister G. Zandanshatar, held a debate, and conducted a secret ballot at Independence Palace.
• Neither candidate reached the required two‑thirds majority in the first vote, triggering a second round under procedures adopted by the Counting Commission.
• Zandanshatar’s supporters rejected the repeat vote and left; after re‑registering attendance, officials counted 321 participants and 275 valid ballots, with Amarbaysgalan receiving 85.67%.
• Party legal officers and several members dispute the legality of the second ballot and question whether a leadership vacancy was properly established under party rules and the Political Parties Law.
• The Executive Council is set to determine the filing for court registration, with the State Supreme Court allotted up to 30 days to review after submission, a process that could take roughly 60–90 days overall; the party also scheduled its next congress for November 15–16.
