Parliamentary elections in Mongolia 1990
The parliamentary elections in Mongolia in 1990 were the first elections in Mongolia after the introduction of a multiparty system.
As in the other countries of the socialist camp, protests and the overthrow of the Unity Party broke out in Mongolia in 1989. A two-chamber system was created: In addition to the Great State Chural , the Baga Chural was introduced as a second chamber. Elected by majority vote , which benefited the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party as the only well-organized party to oppose a fragmented opposition.
The first round of parliamentary elections took place on June 22, 1990 for the Great State of Chural. The runoff elections were held at the same time as the Baga Chural elections on June 29th.
The Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party received 60% of the vote and 358 seats (86%) due to majority voting. The election was overshadowed by irregularities. 28 seats remained vacant due to irregularities. As a result of the election, Punsalmaagiin Otschirbat was elected spokesman for the Great Chural State and Daschiin Bjambasüren was appointed Prime Minister.
