Opis

Mongolia is a multi-party parliamentary democracy. In the June presidential elections, incumbent Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj of the Democratic Party won reelection with 50.23 percent of the vote. The election was generally conducted in a free and fair manner in accordance with the constitution, but expert observers noted that some legal provisions prevented media from providing sufficient information to the voters. The Democratic Party holds a plurality of seats in Parliament and Prime Minister Norov Altankhuyag leads a coalition government including the Justice Coalition (composed of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) and the Mongolian National Democratic Party) and the Civil Will-Green Party. In August President Elbegdorj pardoned MPRP leader and former president Nambaryn Enkhbayar after Enkhbayar had served some eight months of a 30-month prison sentence imposed upon his conviction on corruption-related charges. Authorities generally maintained effective control over security forces. Credible reports indicated that security forces occasionally committed human rights abuses.
