The Popular Front (Baptistois Creole: Front Popilé) is a left-wing electoral alliance formed between the Saint-Baptiste Labour Party (POSB), Fanmi and the Social Democratic Party (PSD) to contest the 2024 election.
The alliance was announced in a press conference on the 15th June 2024 by the leaders of its three members, with the intent being to avoid vote-splitting on the left of Baptistois politics to prevent another election victory for the People's Action Party, which the party has identified as its key rival alongside the since-formed Our Homeland in the upcoming election.
In the alliance's preliminary platform released on the 29th June it identified five key priorities: land reform, sustainable development, expanding workers' rights, gender equality and reducing the cost of living. The alliance currently has 5 parliamentarians, all members of POSB, and has nominated Julien Rousseau of the PSD as its candidate for Prime Minister.
