Established on 17 October 1988,[2] the party was originally known as the Mon National Democratic Front (MNDF), and contested 19 seats in the 1990 general elections,[3] winning five.

The party was registered again on 26 April 2012,[1] in order to contest the 2012 by-elections but failed to win any seats.

It fielded 53 candidates in the 2015 general elections, contesting seats in Mon, Thanintharyi and Kayin states, where a large number of Mon people live.

The MNP's objectives include establishing a federal union in which the Mon people can have greater political autonomy.
