History

There is debate about who should be considered the first President of Mongolia. The title does not actually date back to before Mongolia's democratisation, but the office itself is seen as extending through Mongolia's period of communist rule. Sometimes, the Bogd Khan (seen as the reincarnations of senior lama) are seen as Mongolia's first "presidents", but more commonly, the title is given to the secular leaders who followed them. Balingiyn Tserendorj Beyse, who was acting head of state in 1924, is sometimes seen as the first president, but it was not until Navaandorjiyn Jadambaa was appointed Chairman of the State Great Hural in November that there was an official leader. Only a day later, the leadership role was reorganised as the Chairman of the Presidium of the State Little Hural (the Little Hural being the executive committee of the Great Hural). Later, the Little Hural was abolished, and its powers were returned to the Great Hural — as such, the title of the president became Chairman of the Presidium of the State Great Hural. This was shortly afterwards changed to Chairman of the Presidium of the People's Great Hural, following a change in nomenclature. Finally, in 1990, the title President of Mongolia was adopted. Democratization is the transition from authoritarian or semi-authoritarian systems to democratic political systems, where democratic systems are taken to be those approximating to universal suffrage, regular free and fair elections, a civil society, the rule of law, and an independent judiciary. ...
