The leadership of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) is to be changed from tomorrow (Feb. 2) at its 7th National Convention at the Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium, sources told Ada Derana. 

It was widely reported recently that Sri Lanka’s Marxist party is to elect a new leader and central committee at the 7th national convention and that the names of K.D. Lalkantha, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, Bimal Ratnayake and Vijitha Herath were proposed to take over the party’s leadership.

Incumbent leader, Somawansa Amarasinghe, had reportedly offered to step down from the leadership at a politburo meeting due to the declining electoral fortune of the party.

The JVP’s General Secretary, Tilvyn Silva, had confirmed that the JVP would appoint a new leader, however he confided that it would not be him.
