Presidential Election to be organized adhering current law on Elections
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Bill on Presidential Election has been returned to the initiators of the bill, as majority of MPs attended today’s plenary session voted against discussing the bill further.
MPP group in parliament considered that the bill has not been developed properly, as it did not reflect how to invalidate currently enacting regulations and 149 proposals were put by MPs during the first discussion of the bill. Moreover, even though the bill was approved, new regulations could not have been adhered due to time limitations.
The last parliamentary and local elections 2016 were held following to the unified law on elections and General elections commission claimed that it was difficult to organize different elections with one law. Some MPs initiated the bill on Presidential Election, beforehand to incoming Presidential Elections, explaining the other laws for parliamentary and local elections could be developed later separately.
General elections commission Chairman Ch.Sodnomtseren said that after the Presidential election, the commission would submit its proposal on developing bills on Parliamentary, Presidential and local elections separately to the Parliament and MPs’ proposals during the discussion would be reflected in the bill.
