United Minorities Front, Assam was a regional political party in Assam, India. UMFA was set up in 1985 by the All Assam Minority Students' Union, Citizens Rights Preservation Committee (CRPC) and other religious / linguistic minority people of Assam, as a response to the "Assam Agitation" of All Assam Students' Union and the signing of the Assam Accord. The support of UMFA came mainly from Bengali Muslims and Hindus.[1]
The first president of UMFA was Kalipada Sen. The party merged with AIUDF in 2005.[2]
On 13 April 2013, the State Executive Committee has been formed in the State Level Conference held at Lengtisingha in the district of Bongaigaon.
