The Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (Mongolian: Монгол Ардын Хувьсгалт Нам, romanized: Mongol Ardyn Khuvsgalt Nam) was a political party in Mongolia which was founded in 2010 by Nambaryn Enkhbayar and remained in existence for a little over a decade. The party received approval to use the Mongolian People's Party's old name by the Supreme Court of Mongolia.[2] Enkhbayar, former chairman of the original MPRP and a former President of Mongolia, was the party's leader. It merged back into the Mongolian People's Party in 2021.[3]

Ideology

[edit]

The party's stated mission was to:

  1. Dismantle the oligopoly
  2. Give more authority to the people
  3. Give the people Mongolia's natural wealth
  4. Provide employment and property for every household

The MPRP believed that with the implementation of these integrated policies—aimed at creating human-centered social welfare, economic development and citizen-oriented governance—Mongolia and its people would achieve prosperity and progress.[citation needed]

The MPRP, along with the Democratic Party, advocated for restrictions on the number of years a foreign firm can operate in Mongolia, and called for new industrial projects to be fully Mongolian-controlled. This position earned the party the label "populist" by some observers.[4][5]

Membership

[edit]

The MPRP claimed to have 80,000 members in 2012.[citation needed]

Justice Coalition

[edit]

In May 2012, the MPRP formed the Justice Coalition with the Mongolian National Democratic Party to run for upcoming elections. The Coalition won 11 seats in State Great Khural and became a part of a coalition government with the Democratic Party.[6]

Our Coalition

[edit]

In March 2020, the MPRP and Civil Will–Green Party, Mongolian Traditional United Party formed the Our Coalition to run 2020 parliament election.[7]

Merger with the Mongolian People's Party

[edit]

On 29 April 2021, the MPRP and the Mongolian People's Party signed an agreement to merge the two parties.[8] The MPRP was deregistered by the Supreme Court on 28 May 2021.[3]
