First Muslim left party seeks recognition from Election Commission
Colombo, Feb. 18 (Daily Mirror) - The Muslim Left Front has officially submitted its application for registration to the Election Commission of Sri Lanka, its General Secretary M.R.M. Faizal said today.
The Muslim Left Front was established with the objective of promoting the political rights of the Muslim community, social justice, equality, good governance and national unity.
After a long-standing engagement in public welfare activities, rights-based advocacy and social awareness initiatives, the Muslim Left Front has now taken a firm step forward toward functioning as a legally recognised political party, Faizal said in a statement.
“This registration is considered a significant milestone in strengthening the voice of the Muslim community. The Front is prepared to operate with clear policy positions in areas such as youth political participation, educational advancement, economic development, women’s empowerment and social equality.
The Muslim Left Front is committed not only to safeguarding the rights of a particular community but also to working together with people of all ethnicities and religions to uphold democracy and human rights.
The party leadership has stated that its objective is to make a meaningful contribution toward building national unity and a peaceful political culture,” he added.
The party is to function under the cricket bat symbol.
