The United Left Front<\/span><\/a> (ULF) which was formed by sections of the Lanka Sama Samaja Party, the Communist Party of Sri Lanka and the Democratic Left Front that supported the Common Candidate, Maitripala Sirisena, at the last Presidential elections has decided to align itself with the section of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party that is opposed to the candidature of Mahinda Rajapaksa.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.<\/a>

Dr. Jayampathy Wickramaratne<\/p><\/div>\n

Accordingly, while maintaining its separate political identity, the United Left Front will contest the forthcoming Parliamentary elections under the umbrella of the United National Front for Good Governance in order to consolidate the victory of 08 January and prevent the re-emergence of the authoritarian regime that the people of Sri Lanka defeated.<\/p>\n
