Mongolian Social Democratic Party


The Mongolian Social Democratic Party is a political party in Mongolia. It is not to be confused with the Mongolian Democratic New Socialist Party, which is another name for the Motherland Party.
It was founded in 1990 by Bat-Erdeniin Batbayar. Other prominent members included A.Ganbaatar, Losolyn Byambajargal and Radnaasümbereliin Gonchigdorj. A considerable number of members came from the mathematics and physics departments of Mongolia's National University. The party was part of the Mongolian Democratic Union that ruled from 1996 to 2000. It merged with the Democratic Party in 2000, thus all of the Social Democratic Party became members of the Democratic Party except A.Ganbaatar.
It reformed in 2004 and ran 19 candidates, but did not win any seats at the 2012 Mongolian parliamentary elections.
