The State Great Khural establishes Standing Committees according to the type of activity. The State Great Khural maintains 7 Standing Committees and 5 subcommittees. The Standing Committee consists of more than 12 members of the State Great Khural. The State Great Khural decides on its dissolution if not less than two thirds of its members consider that it is unable to carry out its mandate, or if the President, in consultation with the Chairman of the State Great Khural, proposes to do so for the same reason. In result of the 2004 Parliament election the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) and the Motherland-Democracy coalition share the majority of the 76 seats of the State Great Khural.
