The Chairman of the Mongolian People's Party (Mongolian: Монгол Ардын Намын дарга) is the leader of the Mongolian People's Party (formerly the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party), established on 3 March 1921. With some exceptions, the office was synonymous with the leader of the Mongolian People's Republic, the one-party socialist state which existed from 1924 to 1992. The office has had several names: Chairman of the Central Committee (1921–1928; 1990–1992), General Secretary of the Central Committee (1940–1954; 1981–1990), First Secretary of the Central Committee (1954–1981), and Secretary General of the Party Leadership Council (1992–1997). Between 11 December 1928 and 8 April 1940 (the Seventh to 10th Congresses), the leadership was collective and comprised three Secretaries of the Central Committee.
