Overview

• An initial secret ballot at the party’s Baga Khural failed to reach the required two‑thirds majority, prompting election officials to proceed under a preapproved rerun procedure.
• In a second ballot held after re‑certifying attendance at 321 delegates, Amarbayasgalan received 85.67% of counted votes (275 valid, 46 invalid), and party officials announced him as leader.
• Supporters of rival candidate G. Zandanshatar walked out before the rerun, rejecting the procedure and calling for the question to go to the full congress.
• Party legal officers questioned whether the chair was formally vacant and whether the rerun complied with party rules and the 2024 Political Parties Law, while others argued the process met legal requirements.
• The party says the result will be submitted for Supreme Court registration within statutory timelines, and it set its national congress for November 15–16.
