HATTON, September 10, 2024 – In a significant boost to the National People’s Power (NPP), another political party has thrown its support behind the NPP’s presidential candidate, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, ahead of the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
Mr. Raman Senduran, the leader of the newly aligned party, announced the decision during a press conference held at a private event hall in Hatton Kotagala. Speaking at the event, Senduran emphasized that his party believes Dissanayake is the right candidate to address the long-neglected concerns of the plantation community, particularly regarding economic development and infrastructure.
Senduran criticized previous governments, stating that leaders from various political backgrounds have governed for nearly 40 years without taking meaningful action to uplift the plantation sector or improve the lives of its people. He asserted that Dissanayake represents a change in direction that could bring prosperity to the plantation economy.
“We have decided to support Anura Kumara Dissanayake because we believe he will be the one to finally address the challenges faced by the people in the plantation sector,” said Senduran. He also expressed confidence that the plantation community would vote overwhelmingly for Dissanayake, with hopes of seeing him elected as the next President of Sri Lanka.
This development comes as Dissanayake continues to gather support from a range of political and social groups, strengthening his candidacy as the election draws closer.
