The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) is likely to remove MP Sarath Fonseka from his position as party chairman following his latest remarks that have stirred political turbulence within the party, according to a reliable source.

A source with insight into the matter, closely associated with party leader Sajith Premadasa, disclosed that Fonseka's expulsion is imminent.

When questioned about the potential removal from the party altogether, the source hinted at a legal process, but emphasized that the party leader retains the authority to strip him of the chairmanship.

Despite prior warnings, MP Sarath Fonseka has persistently voiced criticisms against the SJB and its leadership. Most notably, he recently engaged in discussions with President Ranil Wickremesinghe, sparking speculation about his potential defection to the government ranks.
