political party
The Civil Will–Green Party (Mongolian: Иргэний Зориг Ногоон Нам, romanized: Irgeniy Zorig Nogoon Nam, abbreviated ИЗНН or CWGP) is a green liberal political party in Mongolia. It was founded in 2012 with the 2011 merger of the Civil Will Party and the Mongolian Green Party.
History
Civil Will Party
The Civil Will Party (CWP) was established on March 9, 2000, with Sanjaasürengiin Oyun as chairwoman and E. Narmandakh as general secretary. The party's name in Mongolian is a reference to the name of Oyun's murdered brother Sanjaasürengiin Zorig, one of the leaders of the 1990 democratic movement. His name literally meaning "Will" or "Courage".
In the 2000 parliamentary election, the Civil Will Party entered a coalition with the Mongolian Green Party (MGP), and won its first seat in the State Great Khural. Before the 2008 parliamentary election, the Mongolian National Unity Party (Mongolian: Монголын Үндэсний Эв Нэгдлийн Нам) merged with the Civil Will Party. In the ensuing elections in June 2008, the party won one of the 76 seats in the State Great Khural, while receiving 1.97% of the popular vote.
Merger with the Mongolian Green Party
In 2011, the CWP and the MGP decided to merge into the Civil Will–Green Party during its 7th Congress. Following the merger, the party had two members in the State Great Khural: party chairman Dangaasürengiin Enkhbat and first deputy chairwoman Sanjaasürengiin Oyun.
