President Ranil Wickramasinghe asserted that Sajith Premadasa, leader of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya, will not be able to defeat Anura Kumara Dissanayake, leader of the National People’s Force, in the upcoming presidential election.
Speaking at a rally in Mahiyangana, President Wickramasinghe pointed out that despite Premadasa’s frequent speeches in Parliament, he has been unable to challenge Dissanayake effectively.
“This is the first time that Sajith Premadasa, who spends hours gossiping in Parliament, has been unable to defeat an opposition MP. Anura Dissanayake has finally become a threat to him,” the President remarked.
Wickramasinghe emphasized that Premadasa has now reached a point where he is unable to surpass Dissanayake, indicating a significant shift in the political landscape as the election draws near.
