ULAANBAATAR: In light of recent political discussions, President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa (pic) expressed his position on proposed constitutional changes via his social media account.
“Recently, the idea of amending the Constitution of Mongolia and introducing a presidential system has been circulating in political circles and among the public. I have previously stated and I reiterate with full responsibility that I will not support any constitutional amendments during my presidency. This position remains unchanged.
Mongolia is a parliamentary republic, as enshrined in its Constitution, and that this form of governance reflects the choice and values of the Mongolian people.
As Head of State, I firmly believe that Mongolia should further strengthen its parliamentary system and refine democratic governance. This is essential to safeguard the country’s independence, national security and the unity of its people”.
The President also noted that he publicly maintained the same position during his time as Prime Minister. - Go Go Mongolia/ANN
