The governing Democratic Party lost to a landslide victory of the Mongolian People's Party, retaining only nine of 76 seats in the Great Khural. Although the Democratic Party's vote share was down by just two percentage points, a new electoral law passed by the party while in government to promote two-party system, together MPP vote share rising by around 14 percentage points, saw the Democratic Party lose 25 of 34 seats. As a result, the MPP secured a supermajority with 65 of 76 seats.
