The new party head office of the Nawa Lanka Nidahas Pakshaya (New Lanka Freedom Party) was declared open in Battaramulla today. The event of the new political party led by parliamentarian Kumara Welgama took place at 9.28 a.m and the office was declared open by former President Chandrika Kumaratunga. According to Welgama, the party is set to implement programs to train youth under the age of 40 and take steps to establish a corruption-free youth-led political movement in the future.

Welgama formed the Nawa Lanka Nidahas Pakshaya on 6 March 2020 claiming it is seeking to uphold the now forgotten Bandaranaike policies.
