SJB takes over Hambantota Co-operative Society dominated by Rajapaksas!

Date:

The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) has secured a tremendous victory at the election held at the Various Services Co-operative Society in Hambantota, securing 335 votes from the 483 votes cast.

Accordingly, nine members representing the SJB won the election, overthrowing all nine members representing the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), making the event the first time in which a society dominated by the Rajapaksas was overthrown.

Almost every co-operatives election held throughout the country so far was won by the SJB, at a percentage of over 98 per cent.
