For the first time, 519 women stood as candidates, with 32 of them elected, bringing the percentage of women in Parliament to 25%. This was possible thanks to a 30% gender quota and continued support for women's political participation. Previously, the maximum number of women elected was 13, or 17.1%. Gogo.mn reports it. With this increase, Mongolia will improve its position in the global ranking of female representation in Parliament, moving from 129th to 96th-99th place.
