Emboldened by the Supreme Court ruling that upheld the expulsion of Nazeer Ahamed from the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) leading to the termination of his parliamentary seat, the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) said it would seriously consider similar disciplinary action against around 25 of its MPs who broke ranks with it, a party official said.
The Supreme Court ruled in favour of the decision by the SLMC to expel Nazeer Ahamed after he left the party and accepted the post of Environment Minister in the government.
Commenting on the latest development, SLPP General Secretary MP Sagara Kariyawasam told Daily Mirror quite a number of SLPP members had breached the party discipline in recent times, with some such MPs even joining the opposition.
“We seriously consider taking action against them in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling . We sought explanations from them earlier. We will meet this week and discuss furthering action against them,” he said .
However , he said the SLPP would not be able to take disciplinary action against MPs such as Udaya Gammanpila,Wimal Weerawansa and Vasudeva Nanayakkara since they were from different parties but aligned with the SLPP for electoral purposes.
“There are SLPP members such as Dullas Alahapperuma, Dilan Perera , Anura Yapa who are SLPPers who acted against the party’s stand. We will consider action against them,” he said.
An MP loses his parliamentary seat once he is expelled from the party. (Kelum Bandara)

Hitler in the form of party leader Monday, 09 October 2023 08:20 AM
Does this decision has the danger of making the party leader very strong? What is the benefit to country in this situation, where party leaders are themselves corrupted? You don't need examples for this! These party leaders now act as if they are Hitler!

what do you mean as per this judgement the ruling party can not do as they think by buying opposition mps you know constitution as amended so any party can not work beyond the people mandate so if the want to some think new they need to get people mandate through their election manifesto after that they cannot change it by themselves through buying the opposition mp inconsistent with people desire
This is reality Monday, 09 October 2023 08:33 AM
The country will now be able to see "frogs of many colours" apologising earnestly and crawling back to their former "homes" lest they be kicked out into the political wilderness, where they anyway belong to.

Those who broke ranks need not worry even if expelled. They should be thankful that they have abandoned a bandwagon of SLPP thieves led by the ali baba
Ram Monday, 09 October 2023 09:41 AM
Good to have all these people expelled from the party and Parliament

Hay Kariyawasam don't worry you will have to close business of SLPP, and it will be sealed soon.
Prof. H.M.C. Samarakoon Monday, 09 October 2023 10:57 AM
Never dream that SLPP will win any elections in the future as Mahinda, Basil and Namal looting our money and built castles for their families. MPs left will prosper joining the opposition and hold ministerial positions.

Not sure whether they can do it as they are protesting against the new leader and have not joined another party! It's better to have an election and get rid of all the scumbags who are not representing the people!
Sam Silva Monday, 09 October 2023 05:27 PM
You cannot get rid of this scumbags regardless if you have elections or not. They are going to be with us for next generations. Get used to it.

This verdict will definitely stop MPs from crossing over, hence 134 will never go against the party's decission. RW is at the mercy of MR.
Rat bags Monday, 09 October 2023 11:55 AM
At last they will look over their shoulder before crossing over
Man Monday, 09 October 2023 01:58 PM
@RuwanL; Absolutely correct. SLPP have breached their constitution and their manifesto used in 2019, by electing Ranil as the President, etc.
Do Doo Dooo Na Monday, 09 October 2023 02:29 PM
We heard MR's condition seems to be dangerous and his days are counted. You guys are covering the facts and talking nonsense. After MR - SLPP will expire with him. What a fate you idiots who cheated the public and looted and still enjoying a luxury life.
Boru Na ..... Atha ..... Atha .... (100% truth) Monday, 09 October 2023 02:33 PM
Kariyawasam you always utter bull shit and exist in this chair. Very soon you guys will be chased by the public. How many millions did MR gave you to talk in Favour of him.

Sagara, time to go home - rather than making nose - just raise hand for any rubbish and go!
Mohammed intiquab Ghouse Monday, 09 October 2023 04:14 PM
The MP was elected also for the party they were representing, once they changed, should be gone for good.
Gunadharee Nandasena Tuesday, 10 October 2023 04:56 AM
When is Myna dying so that people can organise a big Road Party making Kiribath and Lunumiris and Wattakka! Then you have nowhere to go, Sagara and Hora Group! Ali baba gone? Then what will be the future of thieves around!
