Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga and former Minister Kumara Welgama have decided to support the Samagi Jana Abalwegaya, led by Sajith Premadasa.

The two supported Premadasa at the last Presidential election. The decision comes after the SLFP decided to support the SLPP at the upcoming parliamentary election.

A number of SLFP activists are also expected to support Premadasa along with Kumaratunga and Premadasa, informed political sources said.
