Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa is reportedly being fed a new "winning formula" by his self-proclaimed advisors and media strategists. Their latest theory suggests that if National People's Power (NPP) votes are siphoned off by Namal Rajapaksa, Premadasa will automatically secure the presidency.

A new controversy has erupted in Sri Lanka's political landscape, with former Minister Johnston Fernando being implicated in a contentious ethanol deal, and two Members of Parliament, Chathuranga Abeysinghe and Najith Indika, accused of attempting to broker a deal at the Kingsbury Hotel.

Popular model and actress Piumi Hansamali was questioned by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for approximately two hours yesterday (21).

The photograph reportedly shows Padme alongside Piumi Hansamali and several other well-known actresses.

In a swift move to inject new dynamism into Sri Lanka's political landscape, the United National Party (UNP) has created a significant new position, appointing former Minister Harin Fernando as the Deputy Secretary General of Political Mobilization. This decision, according to close party sources, was made with the direct and personal approval of party leader Ranil Wickremesinghe, reportedly despite some internal reservations among close confidantes.

A heated political dispute between Deputy Minister of Industries Chathuranga Abeysinghe, a young representative of the current government, and former Provincial Council Member Waruna Rajapaksha, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Gampaha electorate organizer, has escalated. Rajapaksha has leveled serious accusations against Abeysinghe regarding a "hidden business transaction" involving a "Rs. 100 million investment" that Abeysinghe allegedly failed to disclose, linked to a discussion at the Kingsbury Hotel.

The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) is grappling with severe internal conflicts as its Anuradhapura District Leader, MP Rohana Bandara, along with all district organizers, has temporarily withdrawn from party organizational activities and vowed to boycott all meetings attended by party leader Sajith Premadasa. This decisive action stems from alleged interference by the party headquarters in the appointment of councilors to the Anuradhapura Municipal Council.
