UNP and SJB hold Successful Discussions on Reuniting

Representatives from both parties confirmed that they have agreed to contest the upcoming elections as a united front.

In the previous general elections, the UNP and SJB contested separately, which party members and representatives said led to significant setbacks in achieving electoral victories. This prompted strong calls from within both parties to reunite.

The meeting was held at a private hotel in Colombo last night, with participation from UNP members including Ruwan Wijewardene, Thalatha Athukorala, Gayantha Karunathilaka, and Harshana Rajakaruna.

Further talks are expected as both sides work towards finalizing their plans for a united campaign.
