Mongolian voters re-elect president Elbegdorj

摘要

The re-election in Mongolia in late June of incumbent President Tsakhia Elbegdorj of the Democratic Party has elicited a lot of commentary on just what the result may mean for foreign mining companies in this enormous country of mountains, lakes, deserts and grasslands that since 1990 has been transitioning into a parliamentary democracy. Making it even more challenging is that Elbegdorj's victory was a narrow one in which he won just 53-54% of the vote with a coalition government.
