Ruling party wins vote

Mongolia's ruling party won a tough parliamentary election fought over how to share more of the country's natural wealth with its people, according to preliminary results yesterday.

The ruling Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) won 41 seats in Sunday's vote, said Battulga Bataa, chairman of the General Election Commission. That would give the party more than half of the 76 seats in parliament, called the State Great Khural.
