Several left-leaning political parties in Bangladesh are preparing to form a new alliance to contest all 300 constituencies in the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election. The coalition, modeled after the historic United Front, is expected to be officially launched on November 29 at a convention in Dhaka’s Engineers Institution auditorium. The alliance aims to combine political activism and electoral participation under a common charter called the 'People’s Charter', focusing on addressing national crises and promoting democratic, secular values. Key initiators include the Left Democratic Alliance—comprising the Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB), Socialist Party of Bangladesh (BASAD), and other left groups—along with Bangladesh JASAD led by Sharif Nurul Ambia. Discussions are ongoing with other progressive and regional organizations, including the Parbatya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti and Dalit and indigenous groups. The coalition’s final name and structure will be decided at the convention, with proposals such as 'New United Front' or 'Democratic United Front' under consideration.
