The Chandan Socialist Birlik Front (Chandan: අරකිනලි ඛමජවඩලික බිරලික ඕරැඞ, Arkinali Samajvadlik Birlik Holboh), commonly known as the ASBH, is a political alliance of political parties in Chanda that supports the Birlikist ideology and its related sub-ideologies.
The Front was officially founded during the Chandan National Revolution in order to provide a movement for the proponents of Birlikist principles. It was not founded as a traditional political party, but rather an political organisation whose members all embraced the principles of the ideology. It gradually began to ideologically diversify and unofficial but cohesive factions formed within the Front. These factions evolved into the Front's member parties today.
Aside from following the basic principles of Birlikism, the alliance features a wide array of ideologies considered generally to be on the left side of the political spectrum. This lack of a specific coherent ideology has led political scientists to classify the alliance as "catch-all" or as a "party of power". Today the dominant parties of the alliance favors market socialism, moderate internationalism, and constitutional reformism.
