Asia - Pacific

ULAN BATOR: Mongolia's election commission confirmed on Monday that the ruling Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) had won a clear majority in parliament in a June 29 vote, where fraud allegations had led to violence.

The MPRP won 39 seats in the 76-seat Great Hural, with 25 seats going to the main opposition Democratic Party and two to smaller parties.

The results for the remaining 10 seats were in dispute and would be recounted, the commission said.

The 10 seats are in three constituencies, though parliament can meet with only three-quarters of seats filled, according to Mongolian law.

"We have introduced 66 seats to the president and we have told him there are three constituencies in dispute for which we have no final result," said election commission chief Batgulga.
