The Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (Mongolian: Монгол Ардын Хувьсгалт Нам|Mongol Ardyn Khuvsgalt Nam) was a political party in Mongolia which was founded in 2010 by Nambaryn Enkhbayar. 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

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.

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

The MPRP claimed to have 80,000 members in 2012.

Justice Coalition

Our Coalition

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

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.
