The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) is on the brink of expelling MP Sarath Fonseka from his position as party chairman, following his recent remarks which have sparked political discord within the party, according to insider sources.
A close source to party leader Sajith Premadasa disclosed that Fonseka's expulsion is imminent and will be executed shortly. When questioned about the possibility of Fonseka's removal from the party altogether, the source hinted at potential legal proceedings, but emphasized that the party leader retains the authority to remove him from the chairmanship.
Despite repeated warnings, MP Sarath Fonseka has openly criticized the SJB and its leadership, escalating tensions within the party.
Speculation intensified after Fonseka held discussions with President Ranil Wickremesinghe, fueling rumors of a potential defection to the government's ranks in the near future.
