People's Front (Ukrainian: Народний фронт; also translated as Popular Front) is a political party in Ukraine founded by Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Oleksandr Turchynov in 2014.
Many members of the new political entity were former members of Fatherland including Yatsenyuk and Turchynov.
The party won 82 seats in the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election.
The party was registered at the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice on 31 March 2014. Yatsenyuk and Turchynov had become unsatisfied with Fatherland when on 21 August 2014 that party's political council decided that Yulia Tymoshenko would head the party list at the October 26 parliamentary election. People's Front held its first party congress on 10 September 2014. At this congress Yatsenyuk was elected chairman of the political council and Turchynov was elected to lead its headquarters. At the time Yatsenyuk was Prime Minister of Ukraine and Turchynov was Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada. Several high-ranking members of Ukrainian territorial defense battalions, who at the time were fighting in the War in Donbass, were made part of the Party's "military council" (though not full party members). In his speech to the first party congress Yatsenyuk called for "unification and unity of all democratic forces" since this would be "the recipe for our victory". Many high-ranking Fatherland members became founding members of the party including Lyudmyla Denisova, Arsen Avakov, Pavlo Petrenko and Andriy Parubiy.
