Presidential elections were held in Mongolia on 9 June 2021.[1] The result was a victory for former prime minister Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh of the Mongolian People's Party, who received 72% of the valid vote.[2] The elections were considered free and fair by OSCE.[3] However, there was controversy as several opposition candidates were disqualified and former president Khaltmaagiin Battulga was barred from running for a second term.[4][5][6]
