The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) should undergo changes to face the challenges of new politics and of the new world, its newly elected MP Ajith P. Perera said today.

"The party should introduce a system of management and should appoint right people to the right positions," Perera told media.

SJB suffered a setback like other parties as it obtained only 1.9 million votes compared 4.2 million obtained by Sajith Premadasa who was it's candidate at the Presidential election.

Yes, start by appointing a new leader for SJB. The humiliating defeat speaks for itself. Time for a change!

SP should step-down from the leadership role allowing the party to appoint a new leader. He lost 4 consecutive elections (Presidential

If so JVP leaders also should have done so long time back.

Agreed with your maths, but not with the logic. We all know SP and AKD are far apart in their skills.

Bear in mind that the only reason the SJB managed to aquire a decent amount of votes during the presidential election was because people were wary about the NPP. Their confidence has built since then by the new presidents behavior. Sajith needs to be replaced in order for the party to regain any credibility henceforth.

Yes. Very good point. SJB should appoint new leadership positions like. 2 x assist leaders. 4 x deputy assistant leaders. 8 x associate deputy assistant leaders. Maybe add to that 5 x chairman’s. 10 x senior leaders. So everyone will live happily thereafter with Sajith at the helm.

SJB propaganda was so useless, spoke of IMF most of the time, the gov was only two months old and SJB expected to bring down prices, there is a mechanism for everything “ ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY” give these lot a chance who’s main goal is to clamp down bribery and corruption then to bring the wrong doers to court of justice.I voted for SJB .

Too late. If you want to exist as a stable opposition never give those jumpers any chance through national list.

It is right time to choose new leader for the party. SP should resign as a leader as Reshi Sunak resigned after conservatives heavy defeat recently conclude General election. Otherwise the party no future .Also UNP will choose its leader other than RW,Ruwan wijewardana.

Not a problem. Lost SJB join up with those who won and go ahead with plan. Great they also got 2/3. Ball is now in their own court. SP work was fine. You certainly couldn’t expect what THEY offered as promised. RW actually has been helping every one. And this time although people don’t understand helped and did not put us on court. Please don’t disturb them now.

Start with the demand for a new Leader. Sajith has failed to perform. Indulging in mere rhetoric is not what is expected of an Opposition Leader. Must be a go-getter. Anyway, with the avalanche that hit the political scene, do not expect any change for at least another one and a half decades, the minimum.

Changes should be from weak and power greedy leadership of Sajith

Obviously the loosing parties at presidential election will loose badly at the general election within a short period. You can clearly see that more than 5m voters did not cast their votes. Still SP does not look like a potential leader in future as he is unable to get votes from majority of youths, educated urban and sub urban voters. So SP has two options. One is he can help the NPP government to abolish excutive presidency and bring a new constitution where he can also receive some credit at the end of the day otherwise he can take a step back and allow a new leader within his party. If not, he will again be the opposition leader at next main election and npp or another party from opposition may come to power.

Also Avoid Family Members involvement in SJB management as bring a new Younger Leader who could articulate and manage in a better way . However after NPP government brings changes to economy and political culture in the country for the next 30 to 40 years NO one in Sri Lanka could be able to Change NPP government like in Many countries in the world where articulated political leaderships shaped the nations in the world .

Under the long economic crisis, people need not a son of the traditional family but a charisma who is active and a revolutionarily able leader. JVP's success is attributed to its play to disguise AK as a savior. Burt SJB also has a chance to create a true savior among their able politicians.

If you listen to SP carefully he is a brilliant all round individual. Unfortunately he is the son R Premadasa. He also let ex SLPp members like GL and Dullus join SJB. Big mistake. Also the chief organiser of SJB , the man from Kandy should be sacked. Just shouting on the stage does not bring votes. NPP just being anti corrupt is not going to grow the economy. No foreign companies going to invest in SL when the ruling party is following Karl Marx and Lenin theories. Since the country is stuck with inefficient govt institutions the deterioration will continue , that means more loans and interest.
