SLPP announces new district leadership appointments amidst split

Date:

August 04, Colombo (LNW): The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) has revealed a series of temporary appointments to district-level positions within the party.

Reports indicate that MP Namal Rajapaksa will take on the role of SLPP leader for the Anuradhapura District.

In Gampaha, State Minister Indika Anuruddha has been designated as the new district leader, a significant post given the district’s political importance.

State Minister Mohan De Silva will now lead the Galle District, while MP Nipuna Ranawaka has been appointed to head the Matara District.

These appointments come in the wake of several former district leaders aligning themselves with President Ranil Wickremesinghe, diverging from the SLPP’s strategy of supporting its own candidate.
