Mongolian election commission bars ex-president from running in upcoming election - The Washington Post

Mongolian election commission bars ex-president from running in upcoming election - The Washington Post: "ULAN BATOR, Mongolia — Election officials have barred a former Mongolian president from running for parliament over corruption charges, a move that could deny the still influential politician a role in the upcoming elections.

Mongolia’s General Election Commission voted Thursday to reject the candidacy of Enkhbayar Nambar due to questions about his integrity. It also deemed his 25-year-old son Batshugar Enkhbayar as ineligible to run because he has yet to serve the two years in the military that is compulsory for all Mongolian men."
