Party History
The MVP was founded in 1921 and took over the power in the same year, after the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army had driven Chinese and White Guard troops from Mongolia. As a result, they became more and more communist Unity Party and finally brought on 26 November 1924, the official proclamation of the " Mongolian People's Republic."
She was a member of the Comintern (Communist International ) and was content until the decline of the Soviet Union under the influence of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, especially under the rule of the dictator Tsedenbal, the 1940, the leadership of the party and after the introduction of a new constitution and governance had taken over.
1984 Tsedenbal was deposed, and in the MPRP began a democratization process - similar to the perestroika in the USSR.
After the political changes in 1990 in the wake of mass demonstrations for democracy in Mongolia other parties were permitted. The Politburo of the MPRP resigned. In 1991, the MPRP broke away from the Marxist-Leninist Communist Soviet stamp. By the Constitutional amendment on 12 February 1992, the Mongolian People's Republic was to Mongolia, and the national Parliament has been reduced. The MPRP won, however, as early as 1990, even 1992 free, democratic elections. The main reasons were again the fragmentation of the opposition and the strong backing of the MPRP in the rural population. On 28 June 1992, the MPRP reached, however, favored by the still existing electoral system, 70 of 76 seats in the Great State Khural - as the new supreme legislative organ of the state, a unicameral parliament, has now been called.
Only in the parliamentary elections of 1996, she was, albeit temporarily, disempowered, as the oriented to a free market economy Democratic coalition scored a landslide victory. This coalition of various parties lacked only one vote to two-thirds majority, so that the MPRP were only 26 of the 76 parliamentary seats. However, this was also " landslide victory" came at a good part by the majoritarian system into being.
The new government was also unable to cope with the emergency, imposed by the transition problems of the country. Moreover, their reign was marked by scandals, so that the coalition brought it to a total of four prime ministers in four years.
The disillusioned population turned back increasingly to the MPRP. In the presidential elections in 1997, the chairman of the MPRP, Natsagiin Bagabandi was elected President of Mongolia.
The parliamentary elections of July 2, 2000 decided the MPRP impressive for themselves, they conquered 72 of the 76 seats in the Great State Khural -. Head of government was Nambaryn Enkhbayar, who took over the presidency of the MPRP after Bagabandi.
Bagabandi itself was confirmed on 20 May 2001 in his office as President and re-elected for another term. After expiry of this term the former Prime Minister ( until 2004) and Speaker of the Parliament (until 2005) Enkhbayar with 53.4 % of the votes was elected as the new leader in presidential elections on 22 May 2005.
In the parliamentary elections on 27 June 2004, it was not possible MPRP according to a statement from Prime Minister Enkhbayar to present understandable enough voters the achievements and future tasks of the party. She received only 36 seats in the Great State Khural -. The MPRP thereupon formed a grand coalition with the existing tripartite Democratic Alliance. Enkhbayar ran then as president and was elected in May 2005 with a vote share of 53 percent. The coalition was dissolved unilaterally in January 2006 by the MPRP. She reigned then in a coalition with smaller parties and independent parliamentarians who were rewarded for their support with ministerial posts and similar high office. Prime Minister was first Mijeegombyn Enkhbold, then Sandschaagiin Bajar, both from the MPRP.
In the elections on 29 June 2008, the MPRP was able to achieve a surprisingly clear victory, according to preliminary results. She reached accordingly up to 46 of the 76 standing for election deputies mandates. The announcement of preliminary results partly followed violent protests. Supporters of the defeated opposition stormed the party headquarters in the capital of the MPRP, which is said to have falsified the result. Two of the five floors of the building stood on 1 July 2008 in flames. Five people will be killed in the riots killed, 200 were injured. President Enkhbayar declared a state of emergency. The burned building was demolished; A new building is under construction ( 2010).
After the election, the MPRP agreed despite their clear majority in Parliament with the Democratic Party ( DP) on the formation of a coalition under Prime Minister Sandschaagiin Bajar ( MPRP ).
On 24 May 2009 incumbent Enkhbayar defeated in the presidential election, his challenger Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj of the DP.
On 28 October 2009 Bajar resigned as Prime Minister, followed him Süchbaataryn Batbold ( MPRP ).
The adopted in November 2010 renamed Mongolian People's Party ( MVP ), which should signal a move away from the communist past, came in the party not only on consent. Enkhbayar and other critics formed a new party, which leads the old name Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party ( MPRP ). The MVP denies the right of the new MPRP to lead the old name.
The parliamentary elections on June 28, 2012 won the DP and received 31 mandates. The MVP received 25 mandates, the new MPRP together with the Mongolian National Democratic Party ( MNDP ) 11 seats. The new prime minister was Norowyn Altanchujag ( DP). The MVP went into opposition.
