The political alliance initiated by the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) with political parties in the “Joint Opposition” in Parliament is to be formed in September.
A senior SLPP member says the alliance will be named Sri Lanka Podujana Sandhanaya and will be formed in the last week of September or by the first week of October at the latest.
The final decision on forming the alliance was reached at a meeting held last Tuesday (20) under the patronage of SLPP Chairman Prof. G.L. Peiris. MPs Dullas Alahapperuma, Dinesh Gunawardena, Wimal Weerawansa, Vasudeva Nanayakkara, and many others had attended the meeting.
All party leaders have approved the draft constitution of the proposed alliance at the meeting.
The SLPP source said that 13 political parties are to form the proposed alliance out of which seven parties are currently represented in Parliament.
