Mongolia

The candidates have focused mainly on negative campaigning rather than political debates, leading many Mongolians to lament the lack of options this year.

Although the format (e.g., opening and closing, sequencing, timing, and grouping of questions) was great, it wasn’t a presidential debate, where voters could critically judge three candidates based on their values/principles, election platforms and/or policy options.

During the upcoming presidential debates, these questions and many more will be raised by the public, and the answers must comply with real life government policies and future goals.
