Davaadorjiin Ganbold

Davaadorjiin Ganbold 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 and had a Chinese grandfather.

In 1990 Gambold was elected chairman of the Mongolian National Progress Party. He also served as chief deputy Prime Minister for Mongolia from 1990-1992.

In 1998 he was the chairman of the State Great Khural's standing economic committee. He was nominated five times between July 24 and the end of August of that year, and rejected by President Bagabandi on each occasion.

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