The 2000 parliamentary elections also returned the MPRP to power in the State Ikh Khural.

Somewhat unusual for a former Soviet satellite state, Mongolia voted to retain the MPRP during its first venture into democratic elections, and Enkhbayar was appointed to serve as the country's Minister of Culture.

In January 2006 he voted with MPRP members for the dismissal of Elbegdorj's government.

In the face of extended street protests in subzero weather and popular demands for faster reform, the politburo of the MPRP resigned in March 1990.

In December the moderate Islamic party Muslim People's Republican Party ( MPRP ), and its spiritual leader Mohammad Kazem Shariatmadari had become a rallying point for Iranians who wanted democracy not theocracy.

This took place less than 2 months before the parliamentary elections in June, 2012, for which Enkhbayar and his party MPRP ( Mongolian People ’ s Revolutionary Party ) were running.

MPRP was planning to run for Parliament seats in June.

This document had recorded meetings between Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj ( current President ), Sanjaagiin Bayar ( leader of the MPRP and Prime Minister then ), Dolgorjav, Bold-Erdene and Tsedendamba after July 1, 2008, discussing the 2008 elections and the responsibility for the subsequent riots.

In the 1993 Mongolian presidential elections, the MPRP was defeated for the first time in its history, with the candidate backed by the democratic parties, Punsalmaagiin Ochirbat, winning with two thirds of the vote.

As a result Genden became very popular and the government was in a more dominant position vis-à-vis the MPRP for the first time since the revolution.

The court ruled in favor of Elbegdorj in that he was only practicing his right to freedom of speech and he questioned why the results of the 2008 election varied so much from the numerous surveys that were conduced by both local and international organizations prior to the election that had the Democratic Party far in the lead for victory over the MPRP.

In 2005 Enkhsaikhan ran in the presidential elections for the Mongolian Democratic Party, but received less than 20 % of the votes and lost against Nambaryn Enkhbayar ( MPRP ).

Mendsaikhan Enkhsaikhan joined Badarchiyn Erdenebat to dissolve Motherland Democracy Coalition to join MPRP to establish new coalition with MPRP for bigger position at the government.

In addition, Elbegdorj accused the MPRP of having ordered the death of five people during the riots ( in connection with the deaths of four of these five people from gunshot wounds, ten police officers were later charged with murder, and Amnesty International raised concerns over the use of " unnecessary and excessive force " by the police ).

In October 2007, Enkhbold lost his position as MPRP chairman to Sanjaagiin Bayar.

Another government reshuffle took place at the end of 2007, when the MPRP decided to replace prime minister Miyeegombyn Enkhbold with Sanjaagiin Bayar.

The MPRP left the coalition in January 2006, however, and proceeded to create a government on its own.

This gave the MPRP the opportunity to withdraw from the coalition, and, with support of several small parties and defectors from the Democratic party, elect Miyeegombyn Enkhbold as the new prime minister.

In 2004, MPRP lost to Motherland Democratic Coalition, a new political entity.

In 2011, there MPRP split into two political entities, Mongolian People's Party ( the currently ruling party with a new name ), and Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party ( MPRP-keeping the old name ).

Nonetheless, the new MPRP government under Dashiin Byambasüren shared power with the democrats, and implemented constitutional and economic reforms, with a new constitution being adopted in 1992.

The MPRP proceeded to form a new government with the help of DP defectors and independent MPs, the new prime minister became M. Enkhbold.

From 2000 to 2004 MPRP was back in power, but results of the 2004 elections required the establishing of the first ever coalition government in Mongolia between the MPRP and MDC ( Motherland Democratic Coalition ).

After parliamentary elections in 2012, the MPRP, which ran in the elections as the Justice Coalition with a smaller party, formed a coalition government with the Democratic Party.

The current government had responded poorly to the disaster and the MPRP received an unexpected boost from the climatological disaster.

Results of the 2004 election forced the MPRP to join a coalition government with the Motherland Democratic Coalition, a coalition of the Democratic Party ( Mongolia ), the Civic Will Party, and the Motherland Party.

With the situation tense, the MPRP decided to admit the Democratic Party into government, forming a coalition.

After numerous demonstrations of many thousands of people in the capital city as well as provincial centers, MPRP Politburo-the authority of the government eventually gave way to the pressure and entered negotiations with the leaders of the democratic movement.

N. Altankhuyag was elected by the Democratic Party's National Consultative Committee as the next chairman, and the Democratic Party entered a coalition government with the MPRP.

From shortly after the Outer Mongolian Revolution of 1921 until 1990, the Mongolian Government was modeled on the Soviet system ; only the communist party –– the MPRP –– officially was permitted to function.

The MPRP won 85 % of the seats.

Until June 27, 2004, the predominant party in Mongolia was the ex-communist party Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party or MPRP.

The MPRP won a clear majority ( 46 of 76 seats ) in legislative elections on June 29, 2008.

Protests against the election results turned violent on the evening of July 1, and protesters sacked the MPRP headquarters in downtown Ulaanbaatar.

Mongolia was driven into deep recession, which was prolonged by the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party's ( MPRP ) reluctance to undertake serious economic reform.

Reform has been held back by the ex-communist MPRP opposition and by the political instability brought about through four successive governments under the DUC.

Riots broke out in Shariatmadari's Azeri home region with members of the MPRP and Shariatmadari's followers seizing the Tabriz television station, and using it to " broadcast demands and grievances.

Enkhbayar was a member and then a leader of the MPRP ( Mongolian People ’ s Revolutionary Party ) since 1992.

In 1992, he was elected to the State Great Khural ( Mongolian Parliament ) as a member of the MPRP.

He held that post until 1996, when the Mongolian National Democratic Party ousted the MPRP in elections that year.

In 1997, Enkhbayar was elected to lead the MPRP.

Under his leadership, MPRP became a member of the Socialist International, an international Institution of 162 political parties and organisations from all continents.

With the MPRP in control of the Great Hural once again, Enkhbayar became the country's Prime Minister.

On July 1, 2008 a large and violent protest took place outside the building of MPRP.
