In a noteworthy development within the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), political sources have revealed that a group of party seniors has proposed that Dayasiri Jayasekara, who was previously removed from the position of General Secretary, be appointed as Senior Vice Chairman.
This recommendation comes in response to former President Maithripala Sirisena's statement that Jayasekara could rejoin the party in a capacity other than the chairmanship, secretaryship, or national organizer roles.
If this proposal is accepted, Dayasiri Jayasekara would assume the position of Senior Vice Chairman, making him the seventh Senior Vice Chairman within the SLFP, a role traditionally seen as pivotal in the party's organizational structure.
This suggestion highlights a potential strategic shift within the party as it aims to reconfigure its leadership roles and strengthen its internal dynamics. The move to consider Jayasekara for a prominent position within the SLFP could mark the beginning of a new chapter in the party's political landscape.
As of now, Dayasiri Jayasekara is reportedly abroad with his family. His response to this proposal and any potential developments will be closely watched.
