He arrived at the central office of the GEC along with DP Chairman, N.Altankhuyag, the Governor of Ulaanbaatar, E.Bat-uul, and other DP members. Recently, the Mongolian National Democratic Party and Civil Will-Green Party have expressed their support of the DP’s nominee in the presidential election.

B.Bat-Erdene also arrived with his supporters and colleagues. During the ceremony to receive mandates he said, “I am running in the presidential election for the first time and I have received my mandate from the GEC. I believe the GEC will operate fairly, as elections are democracy and a statement of justice.” He added, “I hope the other two candidates will compete fairly and the citizens will choose the Head of the State, the symbol of the nation’s unity.”
In a historic moment, the first ever female candidate in a presidential election, N.Udval, nominee of the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party, received her mandate to run in the election. The Minister of Health, candidate N.Udval said, “I am happy to compete in the presidential election with such great people, the President of Mongolia, Ts.Elbegdorj, and the national hero wrestling champion, B.Bat-Erdene.”
