Newly appointed Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena recognized Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) leader Sajith Premadasa as the Opposition Leader of the 9th parliament a short while ago.
The SJB became the main Opposition after obtaining more than 2.77 million votes in the General Election 2020 held on August 05.

Desaster?? Yes for the democracy. Opposition has to be led by a strong person and Sajith can’t do that. I think pohottuwa like Sajith because he is a looser and a joker.
