Political career
The NLP steadily gained ground in the recent years,and it was the only non-mainstream party with a seat in the State Great Khural and Municipal Councils from 2020 to 2024. When the Democratic Party (DP) split into anti and pro-Battulga factions in 2021,many dissatisfied voters and non-partisan affiliates turned to the NLP,which was illustrated by its electoral performance in the 2021 presidential election. In the presidential election,it placed second by a vote share of around 25%,outrunning the DP,which has been the main opposition to the Mongolian People's Party (MPP) for over 30 years.[5]
In January 2021,Dorjkhand succeeded then-party chairman Badrakhyn Naidalaa as the next chairman of the NLP. Under his leadership,the party changed its name to the HUN Party,[6] changed its political position from centre-left to centre-right politics[7] and rebranded itself to the public. In the next 2024 parliamentary election,the HUN party would win 8 out of 126 seat in the expanded State Great Khural and would be a part of a new coalition government led by the MPP in July.[8] He became the Deputy PM of Mongolia.[9]
His position on the potential expansion on the number of seats on the Mongolian State Great Khural had levied criticism from both civic society and the political scenes alike.[10]
