The main political parties which formed part of the coalition were:

• Parti Mauricien Social Démocrate (PMSD) - 13 candidates - led by Xavier-Luc Duval
• Muvman Liberater (ML) - 7 candidates - led by Ivan Collendavelloo

During the electoral campaign Alliance Lepep nominated scientist Ameenah Gurib-Fakim as the proposed President of Mauritius. ^[2]
