Colombo, Feb 17 (Daily Mirror) - Scores of Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) members from both the provincial and local government levels are to join UNP shortly, UNP General Secretary Palitha Range Bandara said yesterday.

Mr. Range Bandara told the Daily Mirror that more than 60 SJB members from local bodies and the North Central Provincial Council are expected to join UNP at the party’s Polonnaruwa District convention today.

“We expect some SJB MPS to join us as well, but it will take some time for those crossovers to take place,” he added.

There are low-ranking Sjbers to join us from all over the island,” he also said.

    It’s good the old are jumping out. Unlike the current politicians who want to stay in one party till they die. Change Will have an open mind

    Iwazaru Saturday, 17 February 2024 10:55 AM

    Oh! That is great. However Ranil's main backers the Buds are joining Sajith. What about the 10,000,000?

    Rejuvenation of SJB. Old jumping out

    Ara Saturday, 17 February 2024 11:20 AM

    Good good, what a joker

    Sokrates Saturday, 17 February 2024 11:23 AM

    This looser is allowed to spread his nonsense here every day.

    Ama Saturday, 17 February 2024 11:40 AM

    This was the practise that RW was doing from the inception. Dirty man. Disyroting other political party is HIS BUSINESS.

    What you gonna do when the JVP comes to power ?

    Udaya Saturday, 17 February 2024 12:20 PM

    That must be your pipe dream.

    Tissa Fernando Saturday, 17 February 2024 08:20 PM

    What do you mean? Do you expect JVP to kill all opponents, is your vote this time based on the hope for revenge?

    Kandiah Balendran Saturday, 17 February 2024 11:50 AM

    Socks Jocks Banians = SJB

    Ama Sunday, 18 February 2024 12:43 AM

    UNP - United NONSENCE Party

    Wagner Saturday, 17 February 2024 12:10 PM

    Keep dreaming

    Bandu Saturday, 17 February 2024 12:15 PM

    But the fact is more are joining the SJB. This Range is stupid and ignorant of what is really happening at ground level. He says this to hoodwink his few UNPers to keep them away from joining the SJB.

    Wijebahu Sunday, 18 February 2024 04:03 AM

    Only useless and old opportunists who have no political future will join UNP. Hundreds of ex Gota supporters lined up to join SJB including some Army Generals.

    Nimal Saturday, 17 February 2024 12:36 PM

    This is a two-way road. The number of people walking in the other direction is far higher. The citizens are now busy driving the last nail to the coffin of the UNP.

    Citizens Saturday, 17 February 2024 01:05 PM

    We are not worried about Mr.SP or RW because it is AKD going to win the Presidency and general elections

    Hudson Sunday, 18 February 2024 04:09 AM

    Just a hype only. They can’t win the presidential election even if all 69 lacks votes Gota received vote with JVP. Because they never had a high base vote. I still suspect Rajapaksa clan might even muster more votes than JVP because they still have a millions of votes intact irrespective of their behaviour.

    Man Sunday, 18 February 2024 06:31 AM

    For Gotabaya part II as merely words with no action when they ruled the country with Chandrika and MY3?

    Mark_D Saturday, 17 February 2024 01:49 PM

    his name sounds funny "Punde Bandara"

    Gune Saturday, 17 February 2024 02:32 PM

    SJB isn’t that great but who will want to join a defunct party as the UNP. Only losers and tricksters remain with RW

    Aquarius Saturday, 17 February 2024 03:55 PM

    This crossing over dramas should be banned. If anyone crosses over he/she should lose their elected seat. This has been a joke and flourished over the last few decades with offers of some cabinet posts as a reward.

    Joker Saturday, 17 February 2024 03:59 PM

    Oya yanawada Range?

    ERROR OF COMEDY Saturday, 17 February 2024 04:21 PM

    WHAT A COMEDY OF ERRORS. IDIOTS LIKE THIS SHOULD GET TOGETHER AND JOIN A HIGH JUMP AND OR LONG JUMP TRAINING CAMP AND TRY COMPETING IN THE OLYMPICS.

    But NOT in our area!

    Quolp Sunday, 18 February 2024 01:21 AM

    It is embarrassing, how could an existing party join a DEAD PARTY (UNP)?

    Tinpot president and his party of idiots Sunday, 18 February 2024 02:14 AM

    Remember they went to the NPP first and got rejected. So you are welcome to have the unwanted rubbish.

    Ashley Sunday, 18 February 2024 12:13 PM

    Your leader elevated to presidency by chance but he could use the opportunity to please people, if he simultaneously put some effort to find rajapakshas loot and other corrupt activities by their goons,along with increasing VAT for people but instead he only sticked to tax therapy, which made more and more people detest him

    Kumudupala Dangedara Sunday, 18 February 2024 03:25 PM

    No more Gon Katha by Wal ALI?

    United National Peaceful People's Power Monday, 19 February 2024 12:10 PM

    People don't trust any party or front or alliance or (sandhana or peramunu). People don't want these Left or Right or Hybrid thakkadi polity-ones to tag Peoples-Power to their political misconducts.
