Mongolian women in miniskirts form a line of umbrellas as they stand behind local politicians during the last election campaign rally by the opposition Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) before Sunday's voting in Ulan Bator June 30. Just four years after being dumped from power, Mongolia's former communists are set to make a comeback by jumping aboard a wave of public disillusion with democracy and capitalist-style reform. Sunday's parliamentary elections are seen as a referendum on a decade of reform that has failed to deliver on its promise of a better life in one of the world's poorest nations.
