The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) has pledged to strengthen itself to be prepared to face any election.
The pledge was made during the party’s sixth anniversary which was marked on Wednesday, 02 November 2022.
Speaking on the day of the SLPP’s anniversary, MP Namal Rajapaksa said the party was ready to move ahead despite the various challenges faced in the past.
“We hope to strengthen and modernize this party, moving forward with the blessings of party Leader MP Mahinda Rajapaksa, founder Basil Rajapaksa, and all those who supported us through victory and defeat,” he said.
According to The Morning, MP Namal Rajapaksa also emphasized that the SLPP does not believe that violence of any sort can establish political power.
Stating that the SLPP is a down-to-earth party that has faced imprisonment and ridicule in the past when its members were warned against starting a party of their own, he said yet the party persevered, winning the majority of elections in the past six years.
SLPP MP Rohitha Abeygunawardena who also addressed the media on the anniversary of the SLPP, echoed the sentiments of MP Namal Rajapaksa, assuring that the party will be strengthened at all levels in the future.
“Our aim at the end of these six years, before stepping onto the next stage, is to strengthen all levels of this party, starting at the Grama Sevaka level, to the electorate level, to the district level, and to the national level,” he said.
MP Abeygunawardena further stated that the party is ready to democratically face future provincial, Parliamentary, and Presidential Elections with the support of other parties. (NewsWire)
