The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) has decided to politically collaborate with the United National Party (UNP) under a joint political program, led and guided by the SJB.

Making a special statement SLB Leader and Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said the decision was reached unanimously during the SJB Working Committee meeting held last Thursday, following discussions at two Management Committee meetings held earlier.

Outlining the new direction, Premadasa emphasised that the SJB and UNP would work together on practical, people-centred policy initiatives to tackle pressing issues faced by the country and people.

“But we will retain our own political identities,” he said.

Premadasa added that the new collaboration aims to continue to work together to find a unified approach to national challenges through shared policy goals and constructive political dialogue.
