In a significant move ahead of the upcoming presidential election, the National People’s Force (NPF) is preparing to nominate Dr. Harini Amarasuriya, a Member of Parliament, for the position of Prime Minister. This decision is expected to be announced before the presidential polls, signaling a strategic push by the NPF.
The NPF’s move comes as part of its broader strategy to challenge the current political landscape dominated by major figures such as Ranil Wickremesinghe and Sajith Premadasa. According to party insiders, the NPF believes that neither Wickremesinghe nor Premadasa will be able to effectively name a prime ministerial candidate within their respective political camps.
Dr. Harini Amarasuriya’s nomination is seen as a key component of the NPF’s campaign, aiming to consolidate support and present a robust alternative to the traditional political figures. The NPF’s assessment indicates that, amid the current political dynamics, both Wickremesinghe and Premadasa are struggling to secure a clear and credible candidate for the prime ministerial position.
This development highlights the National People’s Force’s intent to position itself as a formidable contender in the forthcoming elections, leveraging its potential leadership team to challenge the established political order. The nomination of Dr. Amarasuriya is expected to be a pivotal moment in the election campaign, offering a fresh perspective and a new leadership option to the electorate.
