The All Ceylon Makkal Congress (Tamil: அகில இலங்கை மக்கள் காங்கிரஸ், translit. Akila Ilaṅkai Makkaḷ Kāṅkiras; Sinhalese: සමස්ත ලංකා මුස්ලිම් කොංග්රසය Samasta Lanka Muslim Kongrasaya) is a registered political party in Sri Lanka. It was founded in 2005 by Rishad Bathiudeen. The All Ceylon Makkal Congress is a member of the United National Front for Good Governance (UNFGG).
Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) member Rishad Bathiudeen was elected as a United National Front (UNF), of which the SLMC was a member, MP at the 2001 parliamentary election. He was re-elected at the 2004 parliamentary election. However, the UNF was defeated by the newly formed United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) at the election. After the election differences arose among SLMC MPs as to whether they should join the UPFA government. SLMC MP Hussein Ahamed Bhaila defected to the UPFA on 18 May 2004. The SLMC suspended three MPs - M. N. Abdul Majeed, Rishad Bathiudeen and Bhaila and - over their opposition to the leadership of Rauff Hakeem. The SLMC started disciplinary proceedings against the three MPs and party activist M. Inamullah. The quartet were expelled from SLMC on 30 May 2004. The expelled MPs started legal proceedings to regain their SLMC membership and on 30 July 2004 the Supreme Court announced that it had reserved judgement on the case.
