In this solid case where the highest organ of State power, the members of which are elected by the citizens, has clearly lost the trust and support of the citizens, it is no longer in a position to carry out its mandate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Section 2 of Article 22 of the Constitution of Mongolia states that \u201cThe Parliament may decide on its dissolution if not less than two thirds of its members consider that the Parliament is unable to carry out its mandate, or if the President, in consultation with the Chairman of the Parliament, proposes to do so for the same reason.\u201d The Section 11 of Article 12 of the Law of Mongolia on President states that \u201cIf it is considered that the Parliament is unable to carry out its mandate, the President shall officially notify to the Chairman of the Parliament on the proposal to consult on self-dissolution of the Parliament. The Chairman\u2019s disapproval of the proposal will not prevent the President from proceeding with his proposal in the Parliament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, I am hereby delivering a proposal to consult on self-dissolution of the Parliament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4900 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/president.mn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OTGO7006-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/president.mn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OTGO7006-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/president.mn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OTGO7006-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/president.mn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/OTGO7006-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qhGyOPXgW_o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"date":"2018-10-29T20:04:02","excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President of Mongolia Khaltmaagiin Battulga handed over an official letter regarding &#8220;consultation&#8221; to Chairman of the State Great Khural M.Enkhbold today.
