In a recent development on the presidential election front, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) has signaled a potential alliance with the United National Party (UNP) in support of Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa.
SJB Parliamentarian Ashok Abeysinghe suggested that if the UNP backs Premadasa, they may consider offering a position to current President Ranil Wickremesinghe. However, Abeysinghe emphasized that no members of the SJB would defect to the UNP. These statements were made during a press briefing in Kurunegala.
