 Results from Saturday’s national
elections show the ruling Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party winning
41 of the 76 seats in parliament.
This assures the continuation
of Prime Minister B.Sanjaa’s government.
"According to preliminary
results of the election ... there is a strong probability that the MPRP
has won an absolute majority in the parliament," Sanjaa told the
Associated Press. "The MPRP would like to co-operate with all political
forces and independent candidates."
The opposition Mongolian Democratic
Party tallied 25 seats in the next parliament and one seat went to an
independent candidate.
More than 350 candidates from
12 parties and one coalition ran candidates for seats in parliament.
Unofficial voting totals show 74 percent of the nation’s 1.5 million
voters cast ballots.
