The foundation of this party was laid by a great personality, Pawan kumar Chamling in the year 1993.

This party made its position strong by gaining grand success in the state elections, which were conducted in the years of 1999 and 2004.
According to the leaders of Sikkim Democratic Front the purposes and objectives of the party are to be sticked to the Indian constitution and law and to maintain integrity, sovereignty, equality of the country.

It fights for the uplift of educationally, socially and economically backward and under developed people.

The Chief Ministers of the north eastern states of Sikkim , Assam , Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland too belong to this alliance. Thus, the Sikkim Democratic Front joined the NDA led NEDA.
As the biggest political party in Sikkim SDF has committees from grass root levels to the state level to make its plans and projects rich the common people through these steps. SDF has mass organizations like- Youth Front, Women's wing, and student front, labour front, scheduled tribe and caste welfare front etc.The day is not far when a sense of new thought, regard for a new change, revolutionary enthusiasm, love and unbreakable kinship with the people will transform Sikkim into a 'naya and sukhi Sikkim'. This is my conviction.” It is because of such sustained struggle of the SDF that Sikkim is regarded one of the best small states in India, so far as Panchayati Raj is concerned.
The Election Symbol of Sikkim Democratic Front, as approved by the Election Commission of India is the Umbrella.
