In POLITICS there is NO permanent enemy. Hope Sajith will consider changing his stance.

Sajith is comfortable to remain as the opposition leader.

No teaming up with UNP. RW must be humble enough to hand over the leadership of UNP he deprived all young budding unpers from '94 in his greed for one-man power which deprived him of elected presidency his uncle created

Wise decision. If you align and CB issue people in charge also backs off, responsibility will again fall into shoulders of others in Joint UNP.

Thank you Sajith. In a few years time, people will regard you as a loser and Ranil wickremesinghe as a real hero who tried to change our country into export oriented country with a growing economy. Because of your jealousy and ignorance, you think you can do a better job than Ranil. Even if you or president Anura manage to get a majority in parliament, our economy would not be better. But try your best and good luck.

Typical stooge mentality of some Srilankans serving the elite master and treating them like god. Let Sajith and Anura do what is best to their party and you stop being a astrologer

@Karikalan To make better predictions about the economy you have to be an economist not an astrologer. We got into the current economic crises precisely because we ignored our economy. I don't think we can fix anything in our country without improving our economy. If common man in our country is hungry, what is the point of talking about philosophy or politics?

Firstly, its better to stop talking rubbish, although you’re entitled to, but your master being head of state always spoke rubbish, which was very bad and created so many issues for poor people.

Good. Ranil and UNP must go along with SĹPP. Ranil and Namal will be nice partners

LK Tuesday, 24 September 2024 03:09 PM
In a sense it is good because, UNP top people always want to get rid of Sajith. It is a political revenge they all have . So it is better for Sajith to go with SJB on his own. It is UNP made him to lose this election so, it is better to do like this

Sajith used to challenge the UNP leadership at each election lost. He should resign after second defeat.

Yohan Tuesday, 24 September 2024 03:15 PM
Very good decision as a party. Let those corrupt unp and pohottuwas contest alone so that they get wiped out from politics. Probably you may be able to support npp as Sajith may not be able to win any future presidential elections as he has failed to attract floating voters.

Much appreciated! A well-informed decision. Let’s work for the people and the country, not for the hidden agendas of rejected elements. This is a new era for the younger generation, led by Anura and Sajith Premadasa. Gentlemen, the people are with you. Take the lead and make a tangible contribution to shaping the future of our nation.

UNP is a non-entity now.. SJB is assured of more than 6.5 million votes by now with the announcement of RW's retirement.. Let the people decide next time..

HURRAH. The wisest decision not to get tainted with decrepit UNP or their tainted SLPP baggage.

Who cares what u guys do now. Get rid of those old buggers who just won't retire. And put folk who don't chase after money. Then u might have a chance.

This is reality Tuesday, 24 September 2024 03:34 PM
There is no UNP now. Point! If the SJB does, whatever chances they have of forming a government will fly out of the door. And what about its alliance members? Besides, now with the SLPP in tatters, the SJB has a better chance next to the NPP.

Nihal S Tuesday, 24 September 2024 03:36 PM
Very good decision. Do not join with unp even though you may have to be the opposition leader again. The UNP wants to destroy your political carreer. Also do not take those who left SJB to Ranil.
2 23
Man Tuesday, 24 September 2024 04:08 PM
The SJB shall not take back anybody who crossed over from the SJB or from the UNP including the remaining members of the Karu's group of 18 and the politicians not with the SJB, now. The results will be great even to form a government.

Sumal Tuesday, 24 September 2024 03:39 PM
Very good decision. Aligning with UNP will be suicidal. It will lead to current SLPP scenario. Ranil's old guards are not acceptable to people.
2 21
Rajan V Pillai Tuesday, 24 September 2024 04:36 PM
UNP is dead corpse. Ranil is alive. He will do everything to destroy Sajith, by alligning even with NPP. Ranil is not a leader but a tactful politician.

Jeanne Tuesday, 24 September 2024 04:01 PM
That's a great decision. This is what you call true leadership. Be your own man, forge your own path, form your own policies and strategies and, create a new and better image for Sri Lanka. The UNP is a dead horse now. Has been so for a little while now. Good luck to Sajith.

Wise decision SJB! Whatever you do, don't accept any cross-over MPs or do under-hand deals with other parties. Encourage highly educated youth into the party. The people will support you just like NPP. Best wishes!

The egoistic narcisstic SP will never unite with UNP. He may be happy to be in the opposition. RW gracefully resigned and now this stubborn fool ought to be kicked out. UNP must align with other patties and later join PVP to form a government. This egomaniac will be thrown into the opposition. Later out of politics also.

Good decision better not join UNP when Ranil is the leader of UNP is another trap like in 2019 elections, even this 2024 elections Ranil supported Aruna. Two major parties for the future SJP and NPP.UNP members with clean hands can join SJB .

Good decision. Don't always look at short term numbers games. A classic example is 1956. A short term numbers game with long term disastrous consequences. Stick to your policy Sajith and people will come.

I hope that Sajith stands his ground. There are many refugees now trying to cling to any party to survive as they are high and dry. That's a very good decision by Sajith.
