The National People’s Power (NPP) is fully prepared for the upcoming local government elections, according to Deputy Minister Mahinda Jayasinghe.
Speaking to reporters, Jayasinghe addressed the current political climate, stating, “The people of this country made a significant decision in September and November of 2024 for social transformation. We believe that the people will continue to move forward in the upcoming local government elections. Regardless of any alliances formed, it will not be an issue for us.”
When asked if the NPP could replicate its success from the presidential and parliamentary elections, Jayasinghe confidently responded, “We believe we will achieve an even greater victory in this election.”
Regarding the party’s campaign slogan, Jayasinghe stated, “We have not yet finalized our theme, but we need the power of the village. We know that local government institutions are crucial for many daily activities from birth to death. If these institutions operate efficiently, free from corruption and irregularities, the people will be able to fulfill their needs through their local government institutions. Just as the people entrusted us with the presidency and parliament, we believe they will also entrust us with local government institutions to provide better services.”
