SJB-UNP unite to contest future polls

23 Jan 2025

The first round of talks between the United National Party (UNP) and the main Parliamentary Opposition, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), to explore the parties stated that they agreed to contest the upcoming elections under a united front.

At the previous General Elections, the UNP and the SJB contested separately, and as a result, representatives and party members from both sides repeatedly pointed out that they were unable to achieve significant victories. Given the situation, there were strong calls from both the Parties to reunite.

Accordingly, representatives from the UNP and the SJB met at a private hotel in Colombo on Tuesday (21) night to initiate discussions on working together once again.(The Morning lk News)
