(Lanka-e-News -26.Sep.2024, 11.20 pm) As Sri Lanka approaches the upcoming general election in November, the political landscape is increasingly polarized. The National People's Power (NPP) has announced its decision to contest the election independently, vowing to distance itself from corrupt politicians who have been accused of embezzling public funds, engaging in fraudulent tenders, and being involved in numerous scandals, including bond scams and the sale of state properties at undervalued prices.
The NPP, under the leadership of AKD, is positioning itself as a party committed to cleaning up Sri Lanka's political system and rescuing the country from the economic turmoil that has plagued it for years. The party has emphasized its refusal to align with any political groups or individuals linked to corruption or mismanagement. They have identified the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as a necessary partner in reviving the country’s economy and have pledged to engage with international debt holders as part of their economic recovery plan.
In contrast, the corrupt politicians whom the NPP opposes are reportedly forming alliances and preparing to spend millions of rupees on their campaigns. These political figures are accused of spreading false information, launching smear campaigns, and attempting to discredit the NPP leadership. Many of these politicians are from traditional political dynasties that have held power for decades but have failed to develop or uplift the country. Their past mismanagement has, according to the NPP, contributed to the nation’s economic downfall and eventual bankruptcy.
NPP leader AKD and his team, however, maintain a clean record and promise to steer Sri Lanka toward recovery and prosperity. To achieve this, they plan to take drastic actions to reform the system, fight entrenched corruption, and rebuild the economy. Their campaign message is clear: the election is a contest between honesty and corruption, between a clean, visionary party and an elite class that has driven the country into ruin.
The NPP has called on Sri Lankan voters to be cautious and vote wisely. They urge citizens to reject politicians linked to corruption, mismanagement, and abuse of power. The party emphasizes that only by securing a majority of 155 MPs in Parliament can they bring about the systemic changes necessary to fight corruption, improve governance, and deliver economic prosperity.
The upcoming election, they argue, is a critical moment for Sri Lanka. It is a choice between continuing on the path of bankruptcy and mismanagement, or choosing a new leadership with the vision and integrity to rescue the country. The NPP is appealing to voters to break from the past and elect leaders who can truly serve the nation’s best interests.
