Want to stand in Mongolia The Mongol Messenger is reporting that candidates for some elections will have to be more highly qualified than we expect our candidates to be. Are the Mongols talking sense, should all our candidates be public sector workers for 3 years?


On December 7, parliament held the first reading debate on a bill on administrative divisions.

The bill proposes that candidates for aimag, city, soum and district governorships must be tertiary educated; have no criminal record; have no outstanding tax debt; have no unpaid loan; and have worked for the state for at least three years. Bagh and khoroo governors must have no debts or criminal conviction.  ¶ 7:31 pm
