The president of Mongolia [a] is the executive head of state of Mongolia. [2] The current president is Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh.
Political parties with representation in the State Great Khural nominate candidates. The president was originally limited to two four-year terms, but this was changed to a non-renewable six-year term starting with the 2021 presidential election. The president can be removed from office if two-thirds of the Khural find them guilty of abusing their powers or violating their oath. [3] Before inauguration, however, the president-elect must suspend their membership of any political party.
Generally, Mongolian leaders have lived at the president's residence at the Ikh Tenger Complex ( Mongolian: Их тэнгэр цогцолбор). The complex is a protected area in the Bogd Khan Mountain. [6] The residence is located next to the mansions of the Speaker of Parliament and Prime Minister. [6]
In 2017, newly elected president Battulga said that he intended to live in the "Winter Palace" in central Ulaanbaatar, also known as the marshal's residence, in a departure from tradition. [7] It is located in the heart of the capital between Peace Avenue and Seoul Street (next to the 1st School and the Russian Embassy). The two story-building was built in 1947 as the residence of Marshal Khorloogiin Choibalsan. It has two luxury rooms and five other rooms as well as 52-80 person capacity banqueting hall. [8]
