As the current JVP-led government remains mired in traditional political rhetoric and repressive tactics, dragging the country backwards, the United National Party (UNP) under the leadership of former President Ranil Wickremesinghe is gearing up for a major technological revolution.

The country faces a severe risk of a massive power crisis and widespread electricity cuts in the coming months, a direct consequence of the current government's inefficiency and lack of transparency in the coal procurement process. Political groups, including the 'Winning South Collective' and opposition parties, warn that failure to secure the necessary coal stocks before April could cripple the Norochcholai Power Plant, making a return to nationwide darkness inevitable.
