Sumiyabazar Dolgorsüren (Mongolian: Долгорсүрэнгийн Сумъяабазар, Sumiyabazar Dolgorsuren, [tɔːɮɢɔrsureːŋgiːŋ sʊmiaːpat͡sar]; also referred to as Sumiyabazar Dolgorsuren; born 7 January 1974) is a Mongolian politician and former freestyle wrestler. He is former Governor of the Capital City and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar and the Chairman of the Capital City MPP Committee. He was elected to the Parliament of Mongolia three times, served as a Member of Cabinet and Minister of Mining and Heavy Industry once.
In freestyle wrestling, he represented Mongolia in the Olympic Games and was a Mongolian national Bökh (wrestling) champion. In the 2020 local elections, Sumiyabazar led the Capital City MPP Committee to a landslide victory, after which he decided to resign from his position as a third-time Member of Parliament to lead the capital city as Governor and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar. Thus, he is one of few Mongolian politicians who has made non-standard decisions in terms of resigning from his MP position to become Mayor of the capital city. This resulted in him giving up his MP protection whilst taking up more political risks and responsibilities. He is the first Mongolian politician in history to relinquish his parliamentary privileges to take over an executive branch, working under the slogan “Towards the development of the new Ulaanbaatar City”.
