The Central Asian People's Party (Khalkha Mongolian: Töb Azi Nam, lit. "Central Asia Party"; Uyghur: Pütün Türkistan Xelq Partiyisi, lit. "All-Turkestan People's Party"; Tuvan: Orta Azijat Nam, lit. "Middle Asia Party"), abbreviated as "CAPP", is an inter-ethnic political party active in the Mongol Uls, mainly advocating for the interests of the Turkic minority, although it has recently worked to broaden its base to include ethnic Mongols as well. It adheres to centrist or centre-right politcal stances, and governs in a coalition with the Greater Mongolia Movement. It is affiliated with and mutually endorses the Gurkani Islamic Modernist Party.

Factions

Tuvan Wing

Ethnic Tuvans comprise a large portion of the CAPP's voting base, and Tuvans in the party tend to favour more progressive and secular policies. The party's Tuvan wing is led by the Khanate's Acting Prime Minister, Sherig Toka.

Muslim Wing

Turkic-speaking Muslims, specifically Qazaqs and Golden Horde Uyghurs, are also an important constituency for the party. Affiliates of the CAPP's Muslim wing tend to favour more socially conservative policies, and are generally supportive of Islamic democracy. Notable Muslims in the CAPP include the ethnic Uyghur Health Minister Rebiya Nur and the ethnic Qazaq MK Qasim Qonaqaev.
