Despite Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) leader Sajith Premadasa’s assertion of securing power in the Colombo Municipal Council, the party’s mayoral candidate has been defeated by a 19-year-old female candidate from the National People’s Power (NPP).
The SJB nominated Dr. Ruweys Haniffa, representing a division in Borella, as their mayoral candidate for Colombo. The NPP fielded a 19-year-old as their candidate for the same division.
Minister Vijitha Herath’s response to the SJB’s ongoing campaigns has been released separately.
