We are roughly halfway through Mongolia’s parliamentary election campaign. A panel of speakers affiliated with UBC’s Mongolia Focus blog will review the campaign up until now and discuss the campaign platforms of the dominant parties as well as some of the groups and individuals attempting to challenge this dominance.
This event is a part of the Mongolia Lecture Series.
In this session we will focus on education, anti-corruption, gender and the role of Facebook in the Mongolian parliamentary election campaign.
Mongolians voted on June 24 and gifted the Mongolian People’s Party a resounding victory, winning 62 of 76 seats.
This event will review the results, speculate on causes, take a look at incoming MPs, and discuss future implications.
