ULAN BATOR, July 8 (Xinhua) -- Former Mongolian President Nambaryn Enkhbayar was re-elected chairman of Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP), the party said in a statement on Sunday.

It is Enkhbayar's third term as the MPRP chairman after he received full support from the 1,019 party members from across the country who attended the two-day congress on Friday and Saturday to discuss internal issues of the party.

The MPRP, founded in 2010 by Enkhbayar, is the third-largest political party in Mongolia.

Enkhbayar served as prime minister of Mongolia from 2000 to 2004, as speaker of the parliament from 2004 to 2005, and as president of Mongolia from 2005 to 2009.
