Mongolia’s newly elected members of parliament began their first session today even as four of the 76 seats in the State Great Khural remain undecided.
The General Election Commission submitted the names of 72 winning candidates from last week’s nationwide vote for the president’s approval, according to a statement on President Tsakhia Elbegdorj’s website. A new vote is needed in two seats after candidates failed to gather the 28 percentage threshold stipulated by the election law, the commission said last week.
