Early life and education

Mishigiin Sonompil was born in Tes sum, Uvs Aimag (province). He finished ten year general educational school #1 of Darkhan-Uul Aimag in 1984. He is graduated from the General soldier command class of Defense University of Mongolia in 1988. He worked as a staff sergeant in the military unit of division #167 of the Mongolian army in 1988-1990, and in the educational unit of division #150 in 1990-1991.

Business career

From 1994, Sonompil began to work as a manager at his brother Mishigiin Chimedtseren's private company "Zaluu Mongol" and Sonompil took the position of the corporate president in 1997. Sonompil worked as a corporate president until he was elected as a Member of Parliament in 2004.

Political career

Sonompil's political career began when his Parliamentary Member brother Mishigiin Chimedtseren died in a deltaplane accident in 1997. He ran as an MP candidate from the Democratic Union Coalition, to fill in his died brother's position, but he was unsuccessful in both the 1997 and 2000 elections. In 2004, Sonompil ran for the third time for the elections from the Democratic Party, and this time he was elected as a Member of Parliament.

However, in January 2006 he voted with the former communist MPRP members against the coalition government of Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj. He did so in spite of a decision of the Democratic Party's Directing Board. The Party's Main Legal Committee therefore cancelled Sonompil's membership in February 2006. In the new government under Miyeegombyn Enkhbold of MPRP, Mishigiin Sonompil was awarded the role of Minister of Defense.

gollark: Technology is too complicated for it to work now.
gollark: It won't go well *at all*.
gollark: The grid here noticeably breaks for a few hours every year or so, presumably because there's a lot of redundancy due to lots of components in it. If we had a smaller-scale one, it would either have to be really overbuilt or fail when it was cloudy for too many weeks or something like that, but it would be free of cascading-failure-y problems.
gollark: Less area/stuff to spread problems over.
gollark: Dunbar's number is an incredibly handwavey estimate, but I think the concept is sound.
