The Mongolian People's Party (Mongolian: Монгол Ардын Нам, Mongol Ardīn Nam) is the oldest political party in Mongolia. The party's ideology consists of social democracy and was previously Marxist–Leninist. Its name is abbreviated MPP in English and МАН (MAN) in transliterated Mongolian.
Founded in 1920, the party played an important role in the Mongolian Revolution of 1921. Following independence, it governed one-party Mongolia. In 1924, the party became the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (Mongolian: Монгол Ардын Хувьсгалт Нам, Mongol Ardīn Huwĭsgalt Nam, МАХН, MAKhN) when it joined the Communist International.
In 1990, other political parties were allowed in Mongolia. The MPP remained the governing party until 1996, and returned to government in 2000–2004. From 2004 to 2008 it was part of a coalition government with the Motherland–Democracy Coalition of the Democratic and Motherland Parties. In 2008–2012 the party opted for another coalition with the Democratic Party, although the MPP had a majority in parliament. After the 2012 elections, the MPP became the opposition party in parliament.
In 2010 the party returned to its original name, dropping the word "revolutionary" and inspiring a breakaway faction to retain the long-standing name. The MPP returned to power on June 29, 2016, electing 65 members of the 76-seat parliament.
