Several Opposition MPs about to switch sides, says Johnston Fernando

28 Oct 2021

Chief Government Whip and Highways Minister Johnston Fernando yesterday (28) stated that there would be a change of party compositions in Parliament, claiming several Opposition MPs plan to join the Government.  Responding to journalists’ queries during a ceremony held at Kandy to launch the development of the road stretch from Kandy-Heerassagala junction to Kandy Railway Station into a four-lane road, the Minister said: “I do not want to give away names, but there are many from the Opposition ranks that contacted us and expressed their willingness to join forces with the Government.”  Asked to give an exact number of Opposition MPs talking with the Government to switch allegiances, the Minister said: “I will not divulge the figures. (Samagi Jana Balawegaya [SJB] Leader) Sajith Premadasa is trying to retain his Opposition Leader position. (National People’s Power [NPP] Leader) Anura Kumara Dissanayake is trying to retain leadership of his party.  “We are not going to reveal our strategies. You can see when the time comes. With what they tell us in the parliament lobby, we know their frustration. They are convinced that the incumbent Opposition could never defeat the Government of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa.”
