The ruling Democratic Party lose its majority to the opposition Mongolian People’s Party, a year ahead of the 2017 presidential election.

The MPP ran Mongolia for 69 years until 1990, when it was also known as the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party. Wednesday’s election was the largest win by a party since the MPP won 72 seats in the 2000 election.
