A press conference at the MNB headquarters was held on issues related to the debates between the candidates of the Presidential Election of Mongolia.
Director of MNB A.Burenbaatar reported:
Preparations for the debate have been completed. The debate will be broadcast live on MNB. It will broadcast live on the radio and with English translation on MNB World. It will also be broadcast live through the Clubhouse.
The forum will have four sign language interpreters and one simultaneous translation, and the five topics will be discussed. The main rules were introduced to the parties and they agreed. A team of 190 people working on the debate had a rapid test. All of them
resulted negative to Covid-19.
The Right Person Electorate Party made a request to bring D.Enkhbat to the studio who resulted positive to Covid-19, or to bring other 2 candidates at the hospital, or participate D.Enkhbat from the hospital online.
An official letter was sent to the hospital. No party has stated that it will not debate. No outsiders may enter the red zone of Covid-19. The hospital stated that this principle could not be violated and that the candidate could not be discharged from the hospital.
Therefore, the MNB is unable to organize the debate. Broadcasting debates online is not a TV solution. There is no history of the online presidential election debate in Mongolia.
