President Anura Kumara Dissanayake stated that if fragmented opposition groups band together to seize control of local government bodies, he will use constitutional, legal, and political power to thwart their efforts.

The President made these remarks while addressing the JVP’s 60th anniversary celebration held in Colombo on May 14.

This is against the backdrop of the ruling National People’s Power failing to get a majority vote in many local government bodies, despite winning in those areas.

Meanwhile, the opposition parties have decided to band together to form a united front and establish control of the disputed Local Government bodies.
