Several residents from Uvurkhangai province have filed a claim to the Institutional Court stating that MP G.Batkhuu and D.Zorigt have violated the law.

The claim says that a candidate who wins the majority of votes in Uvurkhangai community failed to be elected parliament which is illegal according to Mongolian laws and regulations.

The residents` claim also said that “decisions made by the Election General Commission violated Article 3 of the Constitution of Mongolia “State power shall be vested in the people of Mongolia. The people shall exercise state power through their direct participation in State affairs as well as through the representative bodies of State power elected by them.”

The final results of voting in Uvurkhangai in the June Parliamentary election in 2012 indicated that MPP candidate S.Chinzorig  collected 23,493 votes, MPP candidate N.Tumurkhuu 21,267 votes, DP candidate G.Batkhuu 19,939 votes and DP candidate D.Zorigt 16,795 votes.

But the Election General Commission made an illegal decision to let DP candidate G.Batkhuu and DP candidate D.Zorigt into Parliament against Uvurkhangai voters will. Therefore we demand to recall those illegal MPs.”

The Appeal Court affirmed that MPP candidates S.Chinzorig and N.Tumurkhuu distributed gifts and bribe money to voters during their campaign. The MPP candidates made a claim to the Constitutional Court but the Court rejected their claim.
