The left-leaning camp within the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) has decided to fully back the National People’s Power (NPP) without any conditions attached.
Treasurer of the group Hector Bethmage made the announcement to the media in Colombo yesterday (03).
He claimed to have the support of around 40 of the party’s electoral organizers.
The NPP government’s programme is very similar to the SLFP founder S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike’s principles, said Bethmage.
Meanwhile, Mahinda Amaraweera said the SLFP was yet to decide on how to contest the upcoming general election.
Allying with certain parties is under consideration, he said.
