Speaking at an election rally in Ratnapura, the President emphasised the importance of a comprehensive political framework to rebuild and stabilise the nation.

The President underscored the government’s commitment to holding these crucial elections as part of a broader strategy to revive governance and address the nation’s socio-political challenges.
