Welimada – In a significant political move, former Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Member of Parliament Talatha Athukorala appeared on the presidential campaign platform to endorse President Ranil Wickramasinghe for the upcoming election. This marks her first public appearance supporting Wickramasinghe since her resignation from the SJB.
The rally, held in Welimada, was a key moment in the president’s campaign as Athukorala’s defection to his side could sway a significant number of voters. Athukorala, who recently stepped down from her SJB position, is seen as a pivotal figure, and her presence on Wickramasinghe’s stage signals a notable realignment in political allegiances ahead of the election.
