His career is marked by significant leadership roles, including serving as the Prime Minister of Mongolia from two thousand to two thousand four. Enkhbayar's influence extended further as he took on the role of Chairman of the State Great Khural from two thousand four to two thousand five, and later as the President of Mongolia from two thousand five to two thousand nine.

His family legacy continues through his eldest son, Batshugar Enkhbayar, who is a member of the State Great Khural representing the Mongolian People's Party.
