The Mongolian Traditional United Party (MTUP) (Mongolian: Монголын Уламжлалын Нэгдсэн Нам, Mongolian script: ᠮᠣᠩᠭᠣᠯ ᠤᠨ
ᠤᠯᠠᠮᠵᠢᠯᠠᠯ ᠤᠨ
ᠨᠢᠭᠡᠳᠦᠭᠰᠡᠨ ᠨᠠᠮ, Mongolyn Ulamjlalyn Negdsen Nam) is a national-conservative political party in Mongolia founded in 1993.
History
On 5 December 1993, the Mongolian Party for Independence, the Mongolian United Party of Cattle Breeders and Peasants, and the Mongolian United Party of Private Owners merged to form the Mongolian Traditional United Party.
For the 1996 parliamentary election, the party nominated 16 candidates, but only Ochirbatyn Dashbalbar was elected to the State Great Khural. As a parliamentary party, it nominated former Chairperson of the People's Great Khural Jambyn Gombojav in the 1997 presidential election, but he won only 6.6% of the vote, coming in third place. After Dashbalbar's death in 1999, poet Ürjingiin Khurelbaatar became the party's chairperson. In 2006, he was replaced by general secretary Batdelgeriin Batbold.
Our coalition
In March 2020, the MTUP, alongside the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) and Civil Will–Green Party, formed the Our Coalition to run in the 2020 parliamentary election.[2] The coalition won a single seat in the State Great Khural, which belonged to the MPRP candidate. The alliance effectively dissolved in May 2021 following the merger of the MPRP with the ruling Mongolian People's Party.[3]
