Mongolia’s ruling party won a slight majority of seats in parliamentary elections Friday but lost ground to the opposition amid voter demands to battle corruption and reap more benefit from the country’s mineral wealth.
The Mongolian People’s Party took an estimated 68 of 126 seats, according to preliminary results and estimates from the news website Ikon.mn. The main opposition Democratic Party took an estimated 42 seats, with smaller parties accounting for the rest.
