Today, the 7^th of April, the Mongolian Democratic Party (DP) is marking its 27^th anniversary. DP officials laid wreaths at the giant Chinggis Khan statue overlooking Ulaanbaatar's Suukhbaatar Square; a wrestling competition was also held – needless to say, not between its new leaders.

Following its crushing defeat in the June 2016 general election, the DP began a roots and branch internal reform and in February elected its seventh leader.

After the 1990 democratic revolution, Mongolia became a country with a multi-party system. The majority of the leaders of the remarkably peaceful transition to democracy and creators of the new Mongolian Constitution, were members of the DP.
