Ghawetkiin Enkhjargal (born Erdenechuluuniin Enkhjargal in Ghawlama, 1672) is a Lontinian folk singer and senator (since 1695) and, since 16.III.1720, the acting prime minister of Hurmu. She is widow of former Hurmu prime minister Daniyal al-Osman. In 1694, upon the reunion of the Eastern Ulus of the Silver Yak Horde into Lontinien, she was named the Chairwoman of the Executive Council of the District of Lontinien (akin to a local first minister for the devolved government).

After her birth in Ghawlama, her father Erdenechuluun, was killed (the killers were never found, and the Storish authorities did not seem motivated to pursue the case), Enkhjargal's mother found refuge in the household of Temüjin, along with many other "broken" families. When Enkhjargal was 10 years old, she adopted a new patronymic, declaring that the Ghawetka tribe was her father. As such, her surname (which in Lontinian tradition comes first), was changed to Ghawetkiin ("child of the Ghawetka"). She calls Temüjin her grandfather. In the Ghawetka house, she developed a passion for singing folk songs. At the age of 12, she released her first album, and has released albums twice a year on average ever since.

On 24.VII.1690, after a six-hour meeting with her grandfather and the new prime minister of Hurmu, Daniyal al-Osman, she and Daniyal al-Osman announced their betrothal to one another. Their marriage was solemnized in Ghawlama, in traditional Lontinian rites, on 7.IV.1691.

On 7.II.1692, Enkhjargal gave birth to Daniyal al-Osman's and her son, named Temüjin Tokaray Erdenechuluun al-Osman. On 7.V.1694, she gave birth to a daughter. In celebration of the second birth the Hurmu Gate Company donated Doggo, the first animal test subject to survive transit through the rebuilt Hurmu Gate Network, to Enkhjargal to serve as a faithful guard and companion dog for her two children. In keeping with the traditions of the Silver Yak Horde, the daughter did not receive her true name until her third birthday - being announced to the world as Azardokht Boragchin Erdenechuluuniin al-Osman.

In the 1695 Parlerment elections, she stood as the second candidate on the Humanist List to the Senate. She became the first ethnic Lontinian senator in Hurmu. Re-elected in 1701.

Appointed Chief Executive Officer of the ESB Aviation Group, a subsidiary of the ESB Group (Apollonia) with effect from 7.VIII.1703 AN.

Late in 1707 AN, at the age of thirty-five and not long after her re-election to the Senate of the Lakes, it was announced that Ghawetkiin was once again pregnant. The third child, a boy, was born on 6.II.1708 AN at Ghawlama General Hospital. In 1710 AN the name of this child was formally confirmed as Aurangzeb Daniyal Erdenechuluun al-Osman.

During the month of 1717 AN she suffered two blows in swift succession; firstly the disgrace of her eldest son, Temüjin Tokaray Erdenechuluun al-Osman, who had fled from his duties in Moorland after the discovery of his complicity in the Confederacy of the Dispossessed, and in the middle of the month by the news of her husband's incapacitation during a meeting of the Honourable Company in Aqaba. Although marriages were seldom made for love in the modern era, her relationship with Daniyal al-Osman had become a genuine life-partnership, to the extent that the taint of concubinage and extramarital affairs were almost entirely absent from their association. Accordingly the news of her husband's illness had stricken her markedly, and in consequence she applied to the Chancellor of the Order of the Holy Lakes for a dispensation to continue her duties from Aqaba for a time, until Daniyal's medical repatriation to Ghawlama could be arranged. Her request was granted.

With the death of her husband on 13.XII.1717, Ghawetkiin Enkhjargal was faced with the prospect of abiding by his last wishes and assuming control of the Apollonian Directorate of the Honourable Company.

On 15.III.1720, the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister absconded from their positions during the Raid of the Presidential House. Accordingly, Enkhjarhal, as First Secretary of State of Hurmu and thus third in line in the cabinet of Annika Raudsepp assumed command of the cabinet, immediately removed all SDP/CWP/HUHU members of it, and appointed a new cabinet to succeed the old one.
