Former Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Thalatha Athukorala, who recently resigned from Parliament, has announced her support for President Ranil Wickremesinghe in the upcoming Presidential Election.
She attended a rally in Welimada today (September 8), where she pledged her allegiance to him.
Athukorala, who gave a passionate speech in Parliament last month criticizing the SJB leader for leaving the UNP, resigned from Parliament on August 21, 2024.
She first entered Parliament in 2004 and was re-elected in 2010, 2015, and 2020.
In the 2020 general election, she won her seat as an SJB member with 45,105 votes from the Ratnapura District.
