Results

About the election: Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai’s Mongolian People's Party (MPP) won a smaller majority in the 126-member State Great Hural (see note) compared to its performance in 2019. The opposition Democratic Party (DP), led by former Education Minister Luvsannyamyn Gantumur, won 42 seats. Three other parties shared the remaining 16 seats. The percentage of women increased from 17.3% in 2019 to 25.4% in 2024. On 2 July, President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa (MPP) opened the first session of the newly elected State Great Hural. On 8 July, the MPP formed a coalition government with the DP and the HUN Party, which had taken eight seats.

The 2024 elections were held amid an economic downturn linked to the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Mongolia’s livestock herders were also hit by severe weather and drought, which killed over 7 million animals in 2024. The key electoral issues included corruption, the economy, unemployment and inflation.

Note:
In May 2023, the State Great Hural adopted the Law on Amendments to the Constitution, which raised the statutory number of members from 76 to 126, and reintroduced a mixed electoral system (instead of a majority system). As a result, 78 members are now elected under a majority system (from 13 constituencies) while 48 are elected under proportional representation.
