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 results, marking the second time an incumbent president had lost their bid for re-election - following Punsalmaagiin Ochirbat in the 1997 election. Background There had been fears that a close result could lead to civil unrest as happened in the 2008 legislative election, where allegations of vote rigging had sparked street protests and clashes with the police during which five people lost their lives and hundreds were injured. Although, police and army units were on stand-by to contain any protest, the people seemed satisfied with the report of the election monitors in that there was no finding of fraudulent votes.http://www.iar.ubc.ca/Programs/ProgramonInnerAsia/Mongolian2009Election.aspx 2009 Mongolian Presidential Election June 1, 2009 April 3, 2014 July 4, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120704180238/http://www.iar.ubc.ca/Programs/ProgramonInnerAsia/Mongolian2009Election.aspx dead Candidates Presidential candidates were only allowed from parties which had representation in the State Great Khural.
