The spring session of the Mongolian State Great Khural (parliament) closed on 29 June with 75 members – one MP short: D.Gantulga submitted his resignation on June amid what he called a ‘politically motivated’ rape allegation.

During its spring session, Parliament convened its Standing committees and sub-committees meetings 101 times to discuss 304 issues and its plenary sessions 27 times to discuss 188 issues, with an average attendance of 83 percent.

D.Gantulga from the Mongolian People’s Party won his seat in the State Great Khural from the 42nd parliamentary district in June 2016. The re-election for the vacant seat has been scheduled to be held on 7 October in Khentii Province.
