Good move. Must defeat any possibility of a JVP Government with all the Comrades in Red Hats !! Very likely the moderate NPP will be locked up !! Hirini and others.

I wish Imthiaz Bakeer is on NPP side. Clearly he belongs there.

These appointments shows SJB is not joining Ranil, UNP members with clean hands can join SJB. SJB is the strongest centre right party.

The right man for the position. He will usher in a new era of goodwill between all communities of Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, rather than being a sinking ship, the SJB will be a force to reckon with at the general elections.

Imthiaz is a decent honorable man with a clean record. What is he still doing with the UNP offshoot SJB?

Imtiyaz is a good man and a neutral guy, sad to see him on the wrong side.

Any political party that cannot give leadership to a clean politician or statesman such as comrade Imthiaz Bakeer Marker in my opinion do not deserve to contest a General Election or worthy of any votes from the people.

Well deserved appointment ! I wonder this move is to get over the nominations for the general elections for the Beruwella and Kandy seats.

Change your mindset and vision, people are not prepared to listen to you, time has come to back AKD, disband Muslim, Tamil parties, community wise parties only bring disunity and racial tensions, let's unite as Sri Lankans to back the current administration.

In light of the remarkable momentum of the JVP-led National People's Power (NPP), it is evident that they are advancing towards an impressive and inevitable victory in the general election. Their progress is unstoppable. We have already witnessed the collapse of the once-dominant, grand old political parties, and the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), being entrenched in the same outdated political culture, is likely to meet a similar fate. Notably, the JVP/NPP’s firm stance against accepting political crossovers is a promising indication of their commitment to principled governance.

SJB got rid of SARATH FONSEKA, Rajitha, Harin, Manusha, Talatha that's very good but the party should get rid of the leader Sajith Premadasa too, at the moment he's The biggest liability to the Party.
