The Broad Front (Spanish: Frente Amplio, FA) is a left-wing political coalition in Uruguay. In 2025 it will be the ruling party of Uruguay, having previously ruled from 2005 to 2020 and has produced three presidents: Tabaré Vázquez (2005–2010; 2015–2020), José Mujica (2010–2015) and Yamandú Orsi (assuming office in 2025). Since 1999, it has been the largest party in Uruguay's General Assembly.
