Colombo, Sri Lanka (August 11, 2024) — In a noteworthy political move, Mrs. Dr; Sudarshanee Fernandopulle, a Member of Parliament for the Gampaha District with the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), has publicly declared her support for Sajith Premadasa in the forthcoming presidential election.
Fernandopulle made her announcement at a press conference held in Colombo earlier today. This endorsement is notable given her affiliation with the SLPP, a party that has been a major rival to Premadasa’s Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB).
Her support for Premadasa could have significant implications for the political landscape, potentially influencing voters in her district and beyond. The endorsement reflects the shifting alliances and realignments that are becoming more common as the election approaches, underscoring the dynamic nature of Sri Lankan politics.
