Analysts expect the ruling Mongolian People's Party , led by Prime Minister Luvsannamsrain Oyun-Erdene, to retain the majority it has enjoyed since 2016 and govern the resource-rich country for another four years. There is also a widespread view that the proceeds of a decade-long boom in coal mining that fuelled double-digit growth are being hoarded by a wealthy elite.
And, for the first time in almost a decade, parties are required by law to ensure that 30 percent of their candidates are women in a country where men dominate politics.
