Following the collapse of the People's Republic of Mongolia, Mongolia's first free, multi-party elections for a bicameral People's Khural were held on July 29, 1990. The MPRP won 85% of the seats. The State Great Khural (greater house) first met on September 3 and elected a president (MPRP), vice president (Social Democrat), prime minister (MPRP), and 50 members to the Baga Khural (lesser house). The vice president was also chairman of the Baga Khural. In November 1991, the People's Great Hural began discussion on a new constitution, which entered into force February 12. In addition to establishing Mongolia as an independent, sovereign republic and guaranteeing a number of rights and freedoms, the new constitution restructured the legislative branch of government, creating a unicameral legislature, the State Great Hural (SGH).

Under the MPRP's restored power, press freedoms waned, with most TV stations more or less reverting to party control. Additionally, popular opposition leaders (Baatar, Gundali, Batbayar) were jailed or threated with imprisonment for speaking out against the policies of the MPRP.
