The party's stated mission was to:
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. This position earned the party the label "populist" by some observers.[4][5]
The MPRP claimed to have 80,000 members in 2012.[citation needed]
In May 2012, the MPRP formed the Justice Coalition with the Mongolian National Democratic Party to run for upcoming elections. The Coalition won 11 seats in State Great Khural and became a part of a coalition government with the Democratic Party.[6]
In March 2020, the MPRP and Civil Will–Green Party, Mongolian Traditional United Party formed the Our Coalition to run 2020 parliament election.[7]
On 29 April 2021, the MPRP and the Mongolian People's Party signed an agreement to merge the two parties.[8] The MPRP was deregistered by the Supreme Court on 28 May 2021.[3]
