Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya stated that although National People’s Power (NPP) presidential candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake is talented, he cannot rebuild the country on his own.

Speaking at a rally held in Maharagama today (19), the Prime Minister emphasized that NPP is not just a political party but a people’s movement. She acknowledged that despite 75 years of power being held by others, the people have now entrusted their faith in NPP.

She further stressed that it is the responsibility of the people to send a capable team to Parliament, as President Dissanayake cannot lead the country’s recovery alone. A strong cabinet and progressive parliament, she said, are necessary to revive the nation.

Prime Minister Amarasuriya also revealed that although all 225 members of Parliament had initially resisted change, half of them have now voluntarily withdrawn from the upcoming parliamentary election. She encouraged voters to seize this opportunity to elect a group that can transform the nation’s future.
