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 with 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.[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. Some observers labelled the party "populist" on account of this position.[4][5]
