Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal

Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) (Urdu: متحدہ مجلس عمل‎) (United Council of Action) is a coalition of religious and theocratic parties consisting of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) (Assembly of Islamic Clergy, Fazl-ur-Rahman Group), Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan (Assembly of Pakistani Clergy), Tehrik-e-Jafaria Pakistan, Jamiat Ahle Hadith and a few other smaller groups. Jamaat-e-Islami was part of alliance but alliance became largely Non- Functional after political disagreement over participating or boycotting election of 2008. JUI-F, leading member of group practically left the alliance to take part in the 2008 general elections and to be a part of coalition PPP government. When JUI-F revived the Alliance in 2012 Jamaat-e-Islami refused to join it. The religious alliance formed the government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2002 and leaded the coalition government in Balochistan with PML(Q). It is strong in the two small provinces. It is socially ultra-conservative and economically moderate socialist. It strongly opposes US military presence in Pakistan. In the Angus-Reid pre-election polls of 22 December 2007, the MMA was in fifth place, with 4% of the vote. The MMA in the National Assembly is actually JUI-F who decided to use the name MMA at the general election in 2008 after the remaining parties in the MMA decided to not take part in the general election. It currently holds 7 seats in the National Assembly. The MMA that contested the 2002 general election has disbanded, according to the head of Jamaat-e-Islami.
