People's Democratic Front (Burma)

The People's Democratic Front (PDF) was a political alliance in Burma.

History

The People's Democratic Front was formed by left-wing politicians in 1951 in order to oppose the ruling Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League (AFPFL).[1] Its members included the Burma Workers and Peasants Party, the Patriotic Alliance, the Burma Democratic Party and the Burma Trades Union Congress.[1][2]

The PDF won 19 of the 250 seats in the Chamber of Deputies in the 1951โ€“52 general elections, emerging as the main opposition to the AFPFL, which had won 199 seats. In 1955 it was succeeded by the National United Front alliance.[1]
