There are reports that the MPP and the MPRP may form an alliance for the 2012 parliamentary election. MPP Chairman S.Batbold and MPRP Chairman N.Enkhbayar have reportedly met to discuss the issue.

N.Enkhbayar proposed that the MPRP be given ten seats in Parliament if the two parties form an alliance. But a final agreement on the proposed alliance has not been reached.

According to research, the DP is the highest ranking party in Mongolia. The MPP is second, and the MPRP ranks between third and sixth. But if the MPP and the MPRP formed an alliance, their combined ranking would overtake the DP’s. So if the MPP and MPRP ally, it would present a formidable obstacle to the DP.
