SJB MP Harsha de Silva says the result of the 2025 Local Government election has proved that the NPP government overestimated itself.
Taking to Facebook, the Opposition MP said that the 2025 election results point to a significant decline in the ruling government’s voter support.
“The drop in vote share suggests a weakening in the popularity of the government over a short period,” de Silva said marking what he described as the end of its “overestimation.”
The MP also noted that while the SJB has improved its vote share, it is not yet sufficient.
However, he expressed optimism that this momentum marks a new beginning. De Silva pledged respect for the current public mandate and offered conditional support to the government during what he said were critical moments for the country. (Newswire)
