Mongolia's third-place finisher in the presidential vote demanded a recount on Tuesday, claiming fraud after election officials declared he had narrowly lost a spot in a runoff poll next month.
"We should recount it, otherwise we lose our democracy," Sainkhuu Ganbaatar of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) told AFP after announcing that an official request for a new count was being filed with the General Election Committee and the courts.
