TheDemocratic National Alliance was a political alliance inSri Lanka, formed by retired GeneralSarath Fonseka and his allies to contest in the2010 general elections. The alliance was mainly made up of allies of Fonseka and of the following parties^[1]

• Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP)
• Democratic National Front
• Democratic United National Front
• People's Tamil Congress
• Voice of Muslim Organization

Ruhunu Janatha Party left the alliance and joined theUPFA March 2010. Nava Sihala Urumaya was a member of the DNA until it was sacked from the alliance in November 2010. The DNA's application for registration as a separate party was rejected by the authorities in January 2011. The JVP would also leave the alliance in 2010.

The Democratic National Alliance had a poor showing at the2010 general election, obtaining a little over 5% of the national vote and winning just 7 seats in the 225 member parliament. This is a significant decline from the 40% national vote Fonseka obtained in the2010 presidential election when he was endorsed by many notable opposition parties which did not join the DNA at the general election, including the main oppositionUnited National Party and theTamil National Alliance and decrease from the 39 members theJanatha Vimukthi Peramuna JVP alone had in parliament. Apart from Fonseka, the members elected were former Sri Lanka national cricket team captain and formerSLFP member MPArjuna Ranatunga, businessmanTiran Alles and four members of the JVP. Fonseka was later jailed by court martial and vacated his seat on 7 October 2010. After a legal battle to maintain his MP status he was replaced by DNA member Jayantha Ketagoda on 8 March 2011.
