The Democratic Party (DP) (Mongolian: Ардчилсан Нам, romanized: Ardchilsan Nam) is a centre-right political party in Mongolia. It was founded through the merger of five opposition political parties that advocated for democratic and economic reforms during the country's post-communist transition. The DP is currently one of the two main dominant political parties in Mongolian politics. Founded on 6 December 2000, the DP is Mongolia's second-oldest politically active party, the oldest being the Mongolian People's Party (MPP), an ex-communist party that ruled the Mongolian People's Republic from 1921 to 1990 as a one-party state. The DP traces its historic roots back to the 1990 Democratic Revolution, when young intellectuals and foreign-taught students began demonstrating against the state in favour of free and fair elections and a free market economy. The establishment of the Mongolian Democratic Union in late 1989 laid the groundwork for Mongolia's main opposition force and the DP's earliest predecessor, the Mongolian Democratic Party, on 18 February 1990.
