Freedom People's Front
The Freedom People's Front (abbreviated FPF; Sinhala: නිදහස් ජනතා පෙරමුණ Nidahas Janathā Peramuna; Tamil: சுதந்திர மக்கள் முன்னணி Cutantira Makkaḷ Muṉṉaṇi) is a Sri Lankan political party founded by Dr Nalaka Godahewa as the Bahujana Viyath Peramuna. The party has existed since 2018 but was not registered by the Election Commission of Sri Lanka until December 2022.[3] Since then, the party is recognized as one of the 12 constituent parties of the Freedom People's Alliance formed alongside the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) in January 2023.[4]
The party founder and leader, Dr. Godahewa, is also a member of the Freedom Peoples Congress, a political party consisting of a group of MPs led by Dullas Alahapperuma who broke ranks with the SLPP, the incumbent ruling party of Sri Lanka, in 2022.[5] Both parties are members of the Freedom People's Alliance.[6]
