Sarva Jana Balawegaya Leader MP Dilith Jayaweera vowed to defeat the government at the first opportunity.
Addressing Parliament Jayaweera condemned the National People’s Power party, alleged that the Seethawaka Pradeshiya Sabha Councillor Chandana Mudunkotuwa had been ‘bought’.
“Is this the change you want for democracy? Is this the pure political culture you wished to create?” He questioned.
Jayaweera vowed that the NPP government will be sent home at the first opportunity they receive.
The MP was referring to the NPP securing control of the Seethawaka Pradeshiya Sabha today, more than six months after the Local Government election.
Although the NPP won 23 seats in May, no party achieved a clear majority, delaying the selection of a Chairman through two postponed meetings.
When the council reconvened today, the NPP and one opposition member supported holding a secret ballot. (Newswire)
