Who is Navaandorjiin Jadambaa?

Navaandorjiin Jadambaa was the first republican Head of State of Mongolia. He became Chairman of the State Great Hural in November 1924 following the death of the Bogd Khan. Only a day later he was replaced by Peljidiin Genden.

Usually a regency would follow the death of the Bogd Khan until his reincarnation had reached his majority; however, in this case the search for the reincarnation of the Bogd Khan was banned and the country has maintained a republican constitution ever since.
