The Mongolian Green Party is demanding the Civil Will-Green Party to remove the term “green” from its name.

The Green Party said in a statement that “The former chairman of the Green Party D.Enkhbat and E.Zorig started attempting to cause trouble, intending to rally to the Civil Will Party against the will of members and the rules of the party in 2009. But the Mongolian Green Party stood against these agitators and expelled them from the party after a restructure at the party meeting.

The former chairman of the Green Party N.Enkhbat and E.Zorig had the name of the Civil Will Party changed into the Civil Will-Green Party as a result of the conspiracy.

In regulations it states that names of political parties and legal parties should not coincide according to a law. But the name of the Civil Will-Green Party violates the law. And voters` rights. Therefore the Mongolian Green Party will fight until the Civil Will-Green Party drops the term green from its name.”

In the past, the Civil Will Party and the Mongolian Green Party registered under the name of the Civil Will-Green Party to the State Supreme Court. However the State Supreme Court opposed the registering of the names, so some members of the Mongolian Green Party had the rule changed regarding party registration by the State Supreme Court.

At this time the former chairman of the alliance of the Civil Will-Green Party, D.Enkhbat said that “We will not sue against any decision made by the Court if they make the decision to register a party as the Green Party. I officially announce that I will not assume the name of Green Party if any people can register the name according to law. So anyone who is united under one belief can create a party by collecting 801 signatures.”
