Violent demonstrations in the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar have left five people dead and more than 300 injured, Mongolian Justice Minister Tsend Munkhorgil said July 2. The announcement came one day after Mongolian President Nambaryn Enkhbayar declared a four-day state of emergency to tackle the several thousand people who reportedly gathered to decry alleged electoral fraud. The unrest resulted from a confluence of three factors.

Immediately after preliminary voting results were released, showing the incumbent Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party (MPRP) won at least 45 of parliament’s 76 seats, protesters supporting the opposition Democratic Party (DP) took to the streets. The demonstrators looted government buildings and the national art gallery and torched the ruling party’s offices, Mongolia’s Montsame news agency reported.
