The virtually certain win for Ukhnaa Khurelsukh would cement his Mongolian People’s Party’s (MPP’s) control over all three major branches of government
Preliminary results in Mongolia’s presidential election show the chairman of the ruling Mongolian People’s Party and former Prime Minister Ukhnaa Khurelsukh winning by a large margin. Wednesday’s election was held amid restrictions aimed at containing the largest surge of COVID-19 cases to hit the vast landlocked nation of just 3 million people. The virtually certain win for Mr. Khurelsukh would cement his Mongolian People’s Party’s (MPP’s) control over all three major branches of government — a development the Opposition says poses a risk to the country’s democracy.More Related News
