The National Coalition (Mongolian: Үндэсний Эвсэл, romanized: Ündesnii Evsel, ÜE) is a political alliance in Mongolia, founded in January 2024 by Nyamtaishiryn Nomtoibayar. The coalition was initially composed of only the Mongolian Green Party and the Mongolian National Democratic Party.[3] The Mongolian Liberal Democratic Party joined the coalition in May 2024.[4]
Nomtoibayar proclaimed that the coalition was founded under a "national democratic" ideology.[3] The primary objective of the National Coalition is to end the partisan politics, combat political corruption, and uphold national interests and democratic values.[5] Additionally, the coalition aims to transform Mongolia into an industrialized, manufacturing-based economy through a pragmatic and technocratic approach.[6]
History
Nyamtaishiryn Nomtoibayar, the current chairman of the National Coalition, is a former member of the Mongolian People's Party (MPP) and served as a member of parliament (MP) from 2012 to 2020, and also as Minister of Labour from 2016 to 2017.
In January 2020, he was expelled from the ruling party due to allegations of unparliamentary behavior and internal party disagreements.[7] He ran as an independent in the 2020 parliamentary election, but failed to be re-elected as an MP.[8] Later on 9 July 2020, he was arrested and sentenced to 5 years and 5 months in prison for abusing power as Labour Minister back in 2017.[9] He was released from prison on 1 April 2021, after serving nine months.[10]
For his bid in the 2024 elections, Nomtoibayar began a series of negotiations with the Mongolian Green Party (MGP), the third-oldest registered political party in Mongolia. MP Togmidyn Dorjkhand of the National Labour Party criticized the deal and accused the Green Party of being sold to Nomtoibayar.[11]
Both the 14th Party Congress of the MGP on January 19 and the 5th Party Congress of the Mongolian National Democratic Party on January 20 approved the decision to establish a new political coalition. The National Coalition, consisting of the MGP and the MNDP, chose Nomtoibayar as its leader on 29 January 2024.[3] The Mongolian Liberal Democratic Party joined the coalition on May 15.[12]
In the 2024 parliamentary election, the coalition nominated a total of 67 candidates. Out of the 67 candidates, 24 were nominated in a closed party list, while the remaining 43 were nominated in multi-member constituencies.[13] The list included chairman Nomtoibayar himself and various other party leaders within the coalition. The coalition managed to win 4 out of 126 seats in the State Great Khural through proportional representation.
