Colombo, Feb 07 (Daily Mirror) - A motion has been filed at the Supreme Court challenging the registration of the National People's Power (NPP) as a political party by the National Election Commission.
The motion, submitted by activist and Secretary of the Vinivida Foundation, Attorney-at-Law Nagananda Kodituwakku, targets the recent registration of the NPP, led by MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake.
Kodituwakku's motion comes amid ongoing controversy surrounding the registration process and the NPP's status as an independent political entity. The motion was filed during the consideration of a writ petition lodged against the Election Commission's decision to reject the registration of the Vinivida Foundation as a political party.
In his petition, Kodituwakku argues that the registration of the NPP violates Sri Lankan law, as the party was formerly part of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), which is already a registered political entity. He contends that the NPP's registration as a separate party constitutes a breach of legal statutes governing political party registration.
Kodituwakku asserts that granting separate political party status to the NPP, which was previously a component of the JVP, contravenes existing laws regulating political party registration. He calls upon the Supreme Court to grant him an opportunity to present compelling evidence supporting his motion.

Mr Nagananda, are you still around?

What about UPFA and other parties they join for the purpose of electioneering.Originally they are from SLFP and other minor parties

Now all these false claims will come up to block them from any political engagement. Sri lanka will never learn any lesson from the past. All trouble makers are coming up as and when NNP get the international recognition and acceptable. All dirty tricks are out now to save all crooks in politics. What we have learned from Aragalaya? What we have learned from this economic crisis? What we have learned from past mistakes in politics ?

When elections comes this Kodituwakku guy pops up from nowhere. What happened to all his accusations, he remembers the people and rules only when its favourable for him?

People have freedom to have as many parties they want to have in Sri Lanka. It is a democratic country. What about all those alliances of different parties. How many parties have joined to contest election in the past.? what is wrong this man to challenge NPP. He can not see it growing.

This may be just what the JVP needs to consider if it wants to leave the “baggage” ( negative connotations) of the past behind. Ideologies and Integrity are personal beliefs and traits of individuals. “Brands” may identify them, but, they don’t define them. The NPP as a single entity, represents a New Dawn. Food for thought ! But I realise, commonsense is in short supply in Sri Lanka.

TWO INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING TWO DIFFERENT PARTIES AS CANDIDATES Wednesday, 07 February 2024 01:46 PM
HOW COME, IF NPP MEMBERS ARE A PART OF THE JVP AND OR A PART OF THE JVP, THERE SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE!! IT IS NOT AS IF THE JVP PARTY IS ONE OF THE SAME!! JVP IS LEAD BY SOME ONE ELSE AND ANURA IS REPRESENTING THE NPP. LOOKS LIKE THIS MAYBE TO CAUSE CONFUSION. I AM NOT A LAWYER, BUT JUST SPECULATING, TWO DIFFERENT PERSONS CONTESTING UNDER TWO DIFFERENT PARTIES NPP AND JVP, WHO I BELIEVE ARE BANDING AND OR ALIGNING TOGETHER FOR THE SAME CAUSE COME INTO POWER AND WIPE OUT CORRUPTION, PUT ALL RESPONSIBLE DIRECTLY AND OR INDIRECTLY FOR BRINGING THE COUNTRY DOWN BEHIND BARS, CONFISCATING THEIR WEALTH $$ RS AND OR PROPERTY AND GETTING THE COUNTRY BACK ON ITS FEET.

Good you challenged without waiting for last minute to the election. Now they have time to rectify any irregularities and be legally registered .

Nagananda was fading away. He is back again to get some publicity riding dead horse
Sunil Wednesday, 07 February 2024 02:40 PM
Naga, from this moment I will not respect you

Whether it is JVP or NPP does not matter, as now it is ready to dance to the tune of India.
Tissa Fernando Wednesday, 07 February 2024 06:56 PM
This is the best comment in this column. This is the reality. NPP is dancing to the tune of India to get into power. Once in power , they will be led by India as it is now. So what is the difference.

This Kodithuwakku is a maniac. Just wanted his existance not the change of the country.

Nagahananda’s 3 yr banning of practicing Law in Srilanka just ended a year ago. He tried several attempts to screw someone for something over nothing and got rejected from the court system, including President RW’s presidency. All rejected.

NPP has it's flaws, not a genuine party, if there are free from any corruption or wrongdoing let them challenge it
Rip Winkle Wednesday, 07 February 2024 07:54 PM
Another nut job.

These facts shows that the whole country is interested in JVP , JVP will certainly come to power and these meaningless court cases will be rejected by the learned judges

NPPs are all-time LOSERS, so why are you guys wasting your time, money, and energy on the KOTA-UDA political party getting just a maximum of 10 seats in parliament in every general election?
Lion Thursday, 08 February 2024 05:33 AM
Naga Nanda is a failure in politics. His attempt to contest presidential election once ended up in failure now every on knows he is just a joke. To catch public attention he has started this new venture.
Premalal Perera Thursday, 08 February 2024 07:07 AM
It may be the right but the wrong timing . I'm afraid that Mr. Nagahananda has scored an own goal. This approach will certainly increase the popularity of the NPP. People will see this as a witch Hunt.
Sambo Thursday, 08 February 2024 08:00 AM
Mr. Nagalanda, you are a person condemning all the political parties in this country except for your self. remember how many votes you got. You cannot change the peoples ideas to suite your and stop condemning all the time and go back to your second home.
NightOwl Thursday, 08 February 2024 10:46 AM
This is absured. By the same arguement registration of many parties could be challenged as most of the party members are coming from another party when a new party is formed.
