The 68th Grand Champion of professional sumo wrestling, Asashoryu D.Dagvadorj, announced that he will become a member of the Democratic party (DP) by receiving a membership certificate today on May 22nd.

MP and Minister of Industry and Agriculture, Kh.Battulga, handed the certificate to him in the Democratic Party building.

Former sumo wrestler D.Dagvadorj commented on his choice to journalists saying; “I have been in favour of Democracy since a very young age. I have personally supported  democratic efforts and DP policy since 2000. So now I am glad to be  joining DP today.”

D.Dagvadorj has taken chances in business after retiring from wrestling. D.Dagvadorj`s brother, D.Sumiyabazar, was elected as the MPP candidate in Uvurkhangai Electoral District in the June Parliamentary Election, but was sworn in after 11 months due to a controversial debate.
