Our Coalition (Mongolian: Та бидний эвсэл, Ta bidnii evsel) was an electoral alliance formed to run for 2020 Mongolian parliamentary election. It consisted of three political parties: Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, Civil Will–Green Party, and Mongolian Traditional United Party.[4] The coalition gained 1 seat in the State Great Khural.[5] According to Mongolian law, the coalition is considered dissolved in 2024.[3]

Ideology

The coalition's platform proposed following actions:[6]

  • Nationalization of natural resources;
  • Change government form into presidential republic;
  • Establish a bicameral parliament;
  • Change the procedure for appointing judges: election from citizens instead of being appointed by the president;
  • Make public universities tuition-free and make the government bear the cost;
  • Full coverage of the cost of medical treatment and services provided by state-owned health institutions by the government.

History

Before election

The parties joined to the coalition were agreed to nominate 56 candidates from Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, 15 candidates from Civil Will–Green Party, and 5 candidates from Mongolian Traditional United Party, and intended to nominate former president, Nambaryn Enkhbayar.[7] However, Enkhbayar was not registered by the General Election Commission because it was stated in Article 29.8 of the Law on the State Great Khural elections that "If the person has been found guilty for corruption or abuse of office, it is prohibited to run for elections", and even though he appealed to the Constitutional Court of Mongolia to annul the article. It was unsuccessful and he was unable to be nominated.[8][9]

After the election and breakdown

In 2020 election, Sainkhüügiin Ganbaatar, the deputy chairman of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party won in the Orkhon Province's 20th constituency, by thus the coalition gained one seat in the parliament.[5] After announcement of Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party's merger with Mongolian People's Party, Ganbaatar, who was displeased with it, left the MPRP and joined the Democratic Party on 29 April 2021.[10][11] In result, the coalition lost only seat in the State Great Khural, and also lost the right to nominate candidate for the 2021 Mongolian presidential election. Gankhuyag, the chairman of Civil Will–Green Party, accused Ganbaatar, that he broke the agreement to become a member of Civil Will–Green Party.[12][13]
