The Left Liberation Front is a far-left electoral coalition in Sri Lanka. It was founded in 1998 as the New Left Front by the Nava Sama Samaja Party, former members of the People's Alliance, and the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna. JVP became a part of the mainstream entering parliament in 1994.[1] One of its early leaders is Anura Kumara Dissanayake.[2]
The alliance has changed its name twice from the New Left Front: firstly to Left Front and secondly to Left Liberation Front in early 2010.
