Party (MPRP) Man

The UB Post has a story on Enkhbayar's swearing in as President. The concluding paragraph includes some info about Enkhbayar as well as his view of the current state of the MPRP:

At the time of his inauguration, Enkhbayar officially withdrew his membership of the MPRP, as required by law. He joined the party in 1985 and was party chairman since 1997. Enkhbayar told the press about some of the successes of the party during his time as chairman, including winning 10 elections (including parliamentary, local, presidential) out of 11. He said that at times in the past the party was criticized for not having a clear concept, but described the present day party as a democratic socialist party with a left of center concept. He said that party membership doubled during his time as chairman. He stated that although he has withdrawn his membership, he will continue to exchange opinions with party members but he will not be involved in the internal affairs of the party.
