“I am against and deeply concerned regarding the decision taken by the Senior Leadership of the SLPP in Hambantota to support the SLFP in appointing a mayor there,” the MP said in a tweet.
Beliatta SLFP organizer Eraj Ravindra Fernando, who was involved in the “toy pistol’ case two years ago, was appointed as the Mayor of the United National Party (UNP)-led Hambantota MC with a majority of two votes on Thursday.
He received 11 votes from the SLFP and the SLPP, while the UNP candidate received only nine votes.
