Mongolia's leading politicians have briefly set aside their differences and signed a joint declaration urging the nation against a repeat of the violence that occurred earlier this week.

Allegations of fraud in Sunday's elections triggered riots in the capital Ulan Bator.

Foreign Minister Sanjaasuren Oyun says the politicians are urging people to respect the law and to resolve everything peacefully.

The protests on Tuesday led to the deaths of five people.

The headquarters of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party which won the election, was set ablaze amid allegations votes were stolen from its Democratic Party rival.

A sense of normality had returned to the streets of Ulan Bator.

The Justice Minister Munkh-Orgil says the state of emergency, a first for Mongolia will be lifted on Saturday as planned.
