The Mongolian Social Democratic Party (MSDP),[a] colloquially referred to as the Socdem Party,[b] is a center-left political party in Mongolia.
It was founded in 1990 by Baabar. Other prominent members included current chairman Adiyagiin Ganbaatar, Losolyn Byambajargal and Radnaasümbereliin Gonchigdorj. A considerable number of members came from the mathematics and physics departments of National University of Mongolia. The party was part of the Mongolian Democratic Union that ruled from 1996 to 2000. It merged with the Democratic Party in 2000, thus all of the Social Democratic Party except Ganbaatar became members of the Democratic Party.
It reformed in 2004 and was officially registered by the Supreme Court on January 2005.[1][2] The MSDP ran 19 candidates,[1] but did not win any seats in the 2012 Mongolian parliamentary elections.
