Civil Will Party was established on March 9, 2000, with Sanjaasürengiin Oyuun as chairwoman and E. Narmandakh as general secretary.

The party's name is a reference to the name of S.Oyun's murdered brother Sanjaasürengiin Zorig, one of the leaders of the 1990 democratic movement.

In the ensuing elections on June 29, 2008, the party won one of the 76 seats in Mongolia's parliament, while receiving 1.97% of the popular vote.

The long-time standing leader and party chairwoman Sanjaasürengiin Oyuun was serving as Minister for Green Development and Environment.

Mr. Tumenjargal, head of the youth organisation, is Deputy Minister for Culture, Sports and Tourism.
