Early life and career

Born in Tsakhir, Arkhangai Province, he attended a secondary school in Tariat,[4] and matriculated at National University of Mongolia and earned science degree from Novosibirsk University of the former Soviet Union.

He worked as a university lecturer for 13 years. Between 1988 and 1990, he was director at the Mathematical Institute of Science Academy of Mongolia. Between September 1990 and July 1992, he was elected as the Chairman of the State Little Khural, and also served as the Vice President of the Mongolian People's Republic .[5] The new constitution abolished both the office of Vice President and the Little Khural in February 1992.
