Parliament Rejects Constitutional Court Election Ruling as Officials Tackle CO Risks, Gas Tender and Digital Push

The decision leaves the dispute over ballot validity unresolved, highlighting ongoing tensions over institutional roles.

Overview

  • Lawmakers voted not to accept the Constitutional Court’s April opinion that ballots marking fewer candidates than available mandates should be invalidated, with 49 of 88 present backing a committee recommendation to reject it.
  • The Anti-Corruption Agency publicly denied claims it was drawn into party affairs and urged political figures to stop attempting to influence the independent body’s work, citing legal protections against interference.
  • City authorities reported five carbon monoxide–related deaths since September 1 and 152 people affected across 49 calls, and they are inspecting stoves and chimneys, distributing detectors, and preparing Hotula app alerts for households.
  • Officials outlined plans for a 93 MW gas-fired heat plant in Denjiin myanga via a public–private partnership of roughly 100 billion MNT, with the city covering 20 percent and an international tender targeted within this year.
  • At Tech Week 2025, the prime minister said the first 100 days set a ‘Digital First’ foundation, citing e-Mongolia 5.0, an AI and big data strategy, UN e‑government ranking at 46th, and 1,263 services online saving 1.7 trillion MNT over five years.
