Sri Lanka Political Focus: Minority Caucus, PC Elections & Constitutional Debate 📈

• Approval Ratings & Electoral Performance: CPA survey shows 75.5% satisfaction with President AKD vs 29.4% for Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa. Opposition led by SJB continues winning local cooperative society elections (e.g. Naula, Karuwalagaswewa) over ruling JVP-NPP. • New Minority Caucus Formed: 6 parliamentary parties representing Tamil-speaking peoples formed a joint political platform: ITAK, SLMC, TPA, ACMC, DTNA, and CWC. Focuses on 3 immediate priorities: constitutional reform with meaningful power-sharing, urgent Provincial Council (PC) elections, and land rights resolutions. • Key Issues & Constitutional Debate: Prolonged delay of PC elections leaves a provincial political vacuum. Debate centers on whether a new Constitution or unfreezing the existing 13th Amendment provides the best path for devolution without risking national integrity.
