Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia  - Mongolia's election commission on Monday confirmed the victory of the ruling party in parliamentary elections, two weeks after deadly unrest broke out in the capital amid charges of election fraud.

The Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party won a majority with 39 seats in the 76-member, one-chamber parliament, the commission said.

The Democratic Party garnered 25 seats while the results for 10 other seats remained unclear because votes in three electoral districts had to be recounted, it said.

The commission denied charges of vote manipulation from the opposition. The criticism unleashed the worst violence in recent Mongolian history, leading to the deaths of five people and prompting President Nambariin Enkhbayar to declare a four-day state of emergency in Ulaanbaatar.

The main issue in the June 29 election, in which the opposition fared more poorly than expected, was how to handle the rights to recently discovered mineral deposits - including copper, gold and coal.

With a comfortable majority, the ruling party would be able to pass the current Minerals Law, which gives the government the right to take an interest of as much as 51 per cent in an important mineral deposit if state funds were used to discover it.

The Democratic Party said private Mongolian companies should be able to hold the majority stake.

Mongolian law requires the president to carry out the swearing-in of the new parliament, or State Great Hural, by July 29. Fifty-seven lawmakers are needed for the parliament to take up its work. (dpa)
