In Mongolia, political reforms have opened the door for outsiders to enter parliament, signaling a shift in the country's political landscape. Saranchuluun Otgon, one of Mongolia's first two lawmakers with a disability, highlighted these changes during a tour of Ulaanbaatar with the city's mayor to test accessibility last year. The experience underscored for her how much Mongolia's politics have evolved.

However, Otgon also remarked that the "people in power seemed too far to reach," indicating persistent challenges in political engagement and accessibility.

These developments come as Mongolia navigates the balance between opening political participation and efforts to tighten regulatory rules within its parliamentary system.
