MP Chaminda Wijesiri says the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) cannot move forward without making necessary changes to the top posts of the party. 

Addressing the media, he said those who have previously failed in making the party successful must step down and provide an opportunity for other capable members. 

He further said that the party must be reformed, with several members in key positions required to be changed.

“If Sajith Premadasa wants to win, he must work to bring forward the young and capable members to the forefront. By this, he can convey to the voters and party supporters that a successful future government has been created,” he said. 

MP Chaminda Wijesiri alleged that the SJB Leader is unable to do so, due to the actions of certain senior and old members, who are working to protect their own positions within the party. (Newswire)
