MPP's Landslide Win in Mongolia's Local Elections – What’s Coming Next?

Mongolia’s local elections on October 11 have reaffirmed the dominance of the Mongolian People’s Party (MPP), which secured a commanding majority in 14 of the country’s 21 provinces and Ulaanbaatar’s city council. This result not only solidifies the party’s political power at the local level but also sets the stage for its continued influence as the country looks toward the 2027 presidential elections.

However, while the MPP’s triumph is undeniable, the elections also revealed underlying challenges that could shape the future of Mongolia’s political landscape.
