Davaadorjiin Ganbold


Davaadorjiin Ganbold (Mongolian: Даваадоржийн Ганболд; born 1957 in Ulaanbaatar) was one of the lead figures in the Mongolian Democratic Alliance of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Ganbold is closely connected with the Buryat Mongol people.

In 1990 Ganbold was elected chairman of the Mongolian National Progress Party. He also served as chief deputy Prime Minister for Mongolia from 1990-1992. He is considered to be the main person behind the Mongolian economic reforms of the early 1990s.

From 1996-2000 he was the chairman of the State Great Khural's economic policy standing committee. In 1998 he was nominated for the position of Prime Minister five times between July 24 and the end of August of that year, and rejected by President Natsagiin Bagabandi on each occasion.

In the end the Democrat Alliance gave up on getting Ganbold in as Prime Minister and instead nominated Janvalyn Narantsatsralt.
