The MPRP was the ruling party of Mongolia from 1921 until 1996 (with no other political parties allowed until 1990), and from 2000 until 2012. The party was established on March 1, 1921, and is claimed to have been the first real political party in Mongolia. It was originally known as the Mongolian People's Party, but changed its name to Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party in 1924. With active involvement and support of the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party, Mongolians promulgated new Constitution in 1992. Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party won the majority of votes in parliamentary elections held in 1992, 2000, 2004 and 2008 and was the ruling party between these periods. It has formed 2 coalition governments with Democratic Party in 2000-2004 and in 2008. Additionally, MPRP-backed candidates have won several presidential elections.

In 2010, the matter of restoring the original name of the party was extensively deliberated at all levels of party organizations, resulting on 81, 3% of all members were against the restoration of the original name of “Mongolian People’s Party”, and as result those members were recall “Extraordinary Congress of MPRP” with participation of more than 1000 members in 2011 and MPRP was re-established.
