  • Both are well ahead of the SLPP, UNP and SLFP, but neither clears more than one-third of voters
  • Poll shows General Election voting intentions

The latest Sri Lanka Opinion Tracker Survey (SLOTS) polling in January 2023 shows the NPP/JVP and SJB running neck-and-neck nationally in General Election voting intentions amongst likely voters at 32% and 31% each respectively. 

Both are well ahead of the SLPP, UNP and SLFP, but neither clears more than one-third of voters, and the difference between them is within the margin of error.  

IHP MRP analysis of likely voters indicates that since July 2022, when President Ranil Wickremesinghe took office, the SJB has gained three points, the NPP/JVP one point, and the UNP five points. This has largely been at the expense of the SLPP whose support fell 11 points.
