SLPP loses vote at Multipurpose Co-operative Society in Horombawa, Kuliyapitiya

Date:

The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) has lost a vote held at the Multipurpose Co-operative Society in Horombawa, Kuliyapitiya.

Controlled by the SLPP, the Horombawa Multipurpose Co-operative Society held a ballot two days ago (26) in electing 92 members, but the Ruling Party managed to secure only 27 votes while a common entity consisting of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) and the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) acting as the Opposition secured 95 votes.

The SLPP has had to face such defeats in a number of co-operative elections held in the previous period and it also had to lose in a number of local government budget elections held last year amid the growing opposition against the government triggered by the economic crisis.
