The Democratic United Front (Bengali: গণতান্ত্রিক যুক্তফ্রন্ট) is a coalition of ten left‑wing political parties in Bangladesh. It was formed on 29 November 2025.[3] Four of the member parties CPB, SPB, SPBM, and Bangladesh JASAD are registered with the Bangladesh Election Commission. The remaining six parties are unregistered.[4]
History
The Democratic United Front was announced at a national convention held at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh, jointly organized by the Left Democratic Alliance and Bangladesh JASAD. The declaration emphasized the need for a new political alignment in response to corruption, misgovernance, and the unfulfilled aspirations of the 2024 mass uprising.[3][5]
The convention adopted a seven‑point political proposal outlining the coalition’s ideological commitments and electoral strategy. Leaders called for uniting left‑wing, progressive, democratic, and pro–Liberation War forces.[3]
Member Parties
The Democratic United Front currently consists of ten political parties.[6]
