September 26, Colombo (LNW): Former State Minister Dilum Amunugama has officially aligned himself with the Mawbima Janatha Party (MJP), a political entity led by prominent Sri Lankan entrepreneur Dilith Jayaweera.
The move marks a departure from Amunugama’s previous association with the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), where he had held a key role in the government.
Amunugama, who previously served as the State Minister of Investment Promotion under the administration of former President Ranil Wickremesinghe, has now taken on the position of national organiser within the MJP.
His decision to join the party comes as the MJP seeks to expand its influence in the evolving political landscape of Sri Lanka.
As reports have indicated, Amunugama’s shift away from the SLPP follows his growing alignment with the leadership of Ranil Wickremesinghe, for whom he voiced support in the most recent presidential election.
