Bahujana Nidahas Peramuna (People's Freedom Front/Mass Freedom Front) is a political party in Sri Lanka founded by Chandrika Kumaratunga when she broke away from the Sri Lanka Mahajana Pakshaya, the party of her late husband.[1] Kumaratunga returned to the Sri Lanka Freedom Party in 1993; however, the BNP continued to live on as a separate political party.[2]
In the 1999 presidential elections, the BNP nominated A. W. Premawardhana as their candidate.[3]
