MPP leaders have revealed that while 269 members have cancelled their party membership since it changed its name, 14,075 new members have so far joined it in 2011, indicating wide support for the MPP’s policies and activities. Asked about the MPRP’s announcement that it will observe the 90th anniversary of the founding of the party on the same day that the MPP will, Prime Minister S. Batbold, who is also Chairman of the MPP, said that would be breaking the law as the Supreme Court’s official register indicates that the MPP is the legal successor of the MPRP, and the law on political parties is clear that the name MPRP cannot be used again by any organization.
