Political career
editIn 2016, He was elected as Representative of Citizens' Representatives Khural of Songinokhairkhan District, one of the 9 municipal districts of Ulaanbaatar. From 2016 to 2019, he served as the leader of the Citizens' Representatives Leaders' Khural in Songinokhairkhan District.[3][4]
In the 2016, 2020, and 2024 local elections, he was elected as a representative of the Citizens’ Representatives Khural of Songinokhairkhan District.
During the 2020–2024 term, Zolboo actively worked to uphold the right of citizens—especially children—to study and grow in a healthy and safe environment. He led a citizen initiative to shut down several closely operating motels located near elementary schools in the Unur khoroolol (neighborhood in Songinokhairkhan district). These motels constantly sold alcohol and promoted prostitution, which eventually led to threats against nearby households and schoolchildren walking to and from school.[5][6]
Zolboo requested a vote from the Citizens’ Representatives Khural, and as a result, a committee was established to shut down the motels and negotiate with their owners. These motels had been operating in the neighborhood for more than 20 years without proper authorization. Residents believed they were deeply connected to corruption and prostitution, and the area had become known as a street associated with Ulaanbaatar City’s red-light district.[7]
After two years of sustained and active work, Zolboo’s committee achieved its goal, and the motels were finally shut down in June 2023.[8]
In 2024 The Mongolian People's Party (MPP) won decisive victory in the local election, winning 43 seats out of 43 in the Citizens' Reprensetatives Khural of Songinokhairkhan district.[9] On the first assembly of the Citizens' Reprensetatives Khural of Songinokhairkhan district Zolboo was nominated from MPP as a Chairman of the Khural. As a result he was elected as a Chairman with a 88.3% vote from assembly. [10]
