In what seemed to be a significant change in Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), the party is slated to appoint national list MP Imthiaz Bakeer Markar as its new chairman in place of Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka.
SJB General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara when contacted by Daily Mirror said party seniors are currently having discussions to this effect. “We are currently discussing the matter at the moment. It is obvious that we have to appoint a new chairman as Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka who held the post since 2020 is no longer with us. Also, there is nothing new in appointing Mr. Bakeer Markar as the chairman as we initially decided to appoint him to the post when we were forming SJB,” Mr. Madduma Bandara said.
“The final decision will be made by the working committee, which is expected to meet next week. We are also planning to hold a party convention as well,” he added.
