As a semi-presidential country, Mongolia holds elections for the State Great Hural every four years. Despite the pandemic, the 8th Parliamentary (State Great Hural) Election was still held on June 24, 2020, The Hural has a total of 76 seats, with a total of 13 political parties and 4 coalitions registering their candidates. A total of 606 candidates, including 121 independent candidates, were nominated. The Parliamentary Elections also elected a new Prime Minister of Mongolia. Since the State Great Hural has the right to dismiss the Prime Minister or veto presidential proposals, Parliamentary Elections have a considerable impact on Mongolia's politics and policies. This research will mainly discuss these two situations: first, how Mongolia held the election and whether the result changed the domestic politics in Mongolia. Second, what kind of election system is applied and its influence on the election. Finally, the main question of the research asks if the election system applied this time brought more benefits to the ruling party. The case study of this research finds that: in addition to the election system, the achievements of the ruling party, the image of political parties and candidates, and the integration of parties do influence the election more than before. |
