The Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party has been declared the winners of the country’s disputed parliamentary elections, two days after violent protests swept the capital, Ulan Bator.

The MPRP, which ruled Mongolia in the communist era, won 47 of the 76 seats in parliament while its main rival, the Democratic Party, took 26.

Electoral officials rejected allegations of fraud and vote-rigging, which sparked violent protests earlier this week in which at least five people died.
