“Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) members who betrayed the party would be expelled soon after the General Election 2020, SLFP General Secretary Dayasiri Jayasekara said.
Speaking at a party meeting in Bingiriya on Tuesday, he said that SLFP Leader Maithripala Sirisena is committed to steering President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s party towards victory at the upcoming General Election.
“Former President Sirisena will also hand over other key positions of the SLFP to talented youth in the future; he said it is because they have a fresh vision, free of conventional political views. However, it is unfortunate to see certain senior Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) politicians criticising the SLFP’s Leadership,” Jayasekara said. He added that criticism should be avoided if the two parties are to continue their cordial ties and ensure that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa emerge victorious at the upcoming election. It would help build a prosperous future for the country, he added.
