The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Working Committee has unanimously approved a proposal to launch a joint political programme with the United National Party (UNP) under the leadership and guidance of the SJB.
Announcing the decision, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said both the SJB working Committee and the Management Committee had reached a collective agreement to work together on a common policy framework.
He said the initiative aims to deliver practical, democratic, and progressive solutions to issues affecting the country and its people, while ensuring both parties retain their respective identities.
SJB General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara said the Working Committee had, for the first time, taken a historic decision to cooperate with the UNP. He clarified that Sajith Premadasa continues as the Leader of the Opposition and that there is no dispute regarding leadership.
