Elbegdorj, Enkhbayar to run for Mongolian president

Sat, 2009-04-04 09:33

Enkhbayar and Elbegdorj Former prime-minister Ts. Elbegdorj has secured the presidential nomination for the Democratic Party. He will run against incubent president Enkhbayar, who is he candidate for the MPRP. Elbegdorj has been prime minister twice, but for less than 4 years all together. The party nominated him with 60 percent of the votes. Less than a year ago, after the July 1st riots that same party had ousted him as its leader. Popular opinion turned partly against him for his part in the riots. The controversial choice of Elbegdorj makes clear how few appealing leaders the democratic party has. His terms as prime minister always followed an ellection were he was not the actual party leader. Rather he was in the formation period assigned as a compromise between different fractions. The 2008 parliamentary election was the first to see him run as party leader. He was widely critised for his reaction to the dissapointing results for the Democratic Party.

His opponent Enkhbayar was speaker of parliament during Elbegdorj second term as prime minister in 2004. Enkhbayar was minister of culture from 1992 and prime minister from 2000, with 4 years of opposition in between. He had a short period as speaker of parliament before becoming the third president of Mongolia in 2005. A reelection in the coming elections would be his first time to hold a second term in a major public office.

Oh boy, here we go again. 60 chavgants uraldaad 2 turuulev ee. Sorry for non-Mongolians, I cannot adequately translate the latter phrase.

99 percent of Mongolians want Elbegdorj to be the next President of Mongolia. Elbegdorj Tsakhia, godfather of democracy and freedom in Mongolia and Enkhbayar Nambar, godfather of corruption and murdering people in his unskilled State Emergency are going to run against each other. Elbegdorj and Enkhbayar are like day and night. Mongolians want to breath and taste real democracy, Mongolians want Elbegdorj as the President of Mongolia.

nice try. you guys you're being biased, aren't you? a 'controversial" choice? says who? elbegdorj resigned post-election, for all to see, and of his own volition. 'that same party' didn't oust him, as you would want your uninformed readers to believe. trying hard to paint him as a loser, aren't you? i say, nice try.

Mongolians will not forget that Mr Elbegdorj instigated the July riots by accusing the RP of fraud and calling the people to protest. It was never proved that. Also, the following municipals and district elections, the Rev. party won most of the seats, especially in UB City. Mr Elbegdorj has been irresponsible and is not credible. I am surprised how the DP could indicate him as their candidate.

Before talking about who is credible, we need to ask how our country is doing right now? For a decade, we are just heading so fast to dictator oriented government. Do we want that again for four more years. we will be landing in deep mud of poverty, crime, social class difference and the worst one is that we won't be in the communism, but we will be under the dictator who loves money, who doesn't care about us and who won't do anything for us!(including everyone studying and working outside of Mongolia) Now which one is better? Ask yourself. Are your relatives and parent doing well in Mongolia. The rate of poverty increases day by day. Soon we will be called one of the poorest country in the world if we run like this. This election is not about choosing one of them. It is about choosing your future at least for four years.

This is the first time i was in the website and frankly speaking, it is different - i mean it is "on time" - good forum for those who "sadly" expresses himself or herself better in english, rather than our own mother tongue - Mongolian. Anyhow, i am impressed with all those youngsters posting in English and concerning about political affairs such as presidential election. I think Mongolia needs true professional political scientists who looks at these things thru the eyes of an expert. Politics is not a game for journalists, wrestlers, herders, plummers, etc. Politics is a science and there are some rules and ethics. And there are things politicians need to know minimally such as all the -isms. Not to forget that Mongolia is moving forward, but not fast enough. And it is up to people like us to "refresh" Mongolians. Our People, MY PEOPLE are dying for change.

I hope my fellow contrymen will vote for the right candidate who truly seeks the well being of all Mongolians. I hope no one's mind becomes influenced by how much these candidates advertise, how much free items they give out, and how lavishly they hire artists to sing at concerts. Please choose the candidate YOU think will imporve Mongolia.

is it true that Enkhbayar is the richest man in Mongolia having 1,5Billion us Dollars that is richer than gdp of mongolia?

1.5 billion MNT, maybe. Obviously politicians abuse their power to get richer, as they do in the US or almost anywhere, but i cant believe the numbers people always come up with. I am much more interested in media affiliations. Elbegdorj has a share in the olloo.mn website and is a founder of eagle tv. but what does enkhbayar have?

degi, you are completely wrong, because look at the statistics and facts, mongolian does not officially count as one of LDCs, and its gdp is increasing even more than china's right now. where are the statistics that prove mongolian people are growing poorer? none, we have better results every year, compared to 2000 our market and economy has done nothing more than gone up. Frankly, you are being biased, just think who has more experience, who has released all mongolians debts including 100 mill us dollars to russia? elbegdorj has a worrying political history, while enkhbayar has nothing but a stable long devotion to his country. Also elbenh, its not true that enkhbayar is the richest man in mongolia. Enkhbayar doesnt own any big businesses and there were no media scandals or anything that would show him off as rich. Its elbegdorj who has many businesses and black markets set up everywhere. Please people of Mongolia decide what ios best for you and try to make the right choice.

can all of you just feel it? You may not think that Mongolia is doing its worst! But think just a moment about the society and all of its branches we actually got used to this THIS corruption and we don't see it. Everything you do in Mongolia needs a lot of money just like in the USA however the GDP is not growing subsequently enough. the fact is that there is no place to have a good time since they are too expensive and furthermore requires friendship. with no friends no nothing! But i`m a wealthy person however think about how many of us live in ger-districts! Mongolia hasn't changed a bit that for sure! Anyone of them aren't good enough! i am personally voting against communist party!

No argue that Enkhbayar is a highly educated scholar who can lead our country to progress & stability. He also has good connection with China & Russia & may get more financial & resource support from them
