Presidential elections were held in Mongolia on 24 May 2009. They were contested between incumbent Nambaryn Enkhbayar supported by the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party and Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj who had support of the Democratic Party and the opposition parties. Elbegdorj declared himself the victor before the count was official but based on his party’s counts. Enkhbayar admitted a narrow defeat shortly after and said that he would respect the result.
