DP’s National Consulting Bureau NCB) met on Saturday to allocate responsibilities to members newly elected to it as well as to the Executive Board. All disputes about the elections in Khan-Uul, Chingeltei, Bayanzurkh and Songinokhairkhan districts and Darkhan-Uul province were resolved after a three-hour discussion behind closed doors. 

Afterwards, party head N.Altankhuyag said he was proud that the 20^th anniversary of the democratic revolution was being celebrated nationwide, and congratulated E.Bat-Uul on being awarded the nation’s highest honor, the Hero of Mongolia. He highlighted achievements such as signing the Oyutolgoi agreement, money distribution, as well as the decision to enroll 2.7 million citizens in health and social insurances thanks to the establishment of a coalition government. 

Some MPs did not like this. Head of the Union of Democratic Forces Z.Enkhbold said the DP had promised many other things. The MPRP will contest the next Parliamentary election saying it has fulfilled its promise to give the MNT1.5 million. “We did not promise cash and our proposals for granting shares in minerals resources companies must be presented to Parliament in the Autumn session. We did not win the election, so had no compulsion to fulfill our promises. But, as we are in the coalition, we cannot reject the MPRP demands,” he said.

MP Kh.Temuujin said, “Everything the DP is doing leads to defeat, instead of victory. Is this any political strategy or are we being charitable? Two of the three ministers who negotiated the Oyutolgoi investment agreement were from DP, but its success is seen to favor MPRP.”
