The Ceylon Workers' Congress will support President Ranil Wickremesinghe for the Presidential Election 2024, its General Secretary Jeevan Thondaman announced today.
Mr. Thondaman made the announcement on his X (formerly Twitter) handle.
"Our support is in recognition of his remarkable leadership since he took up the Presidency in July 2022 during one of the most challenging chapters in our nation’s history. We know that his continued leadership is the right thing for our country, “ Thondaman said.
He said that in his two years of leading the nation, President Wickremesinghe has turned around Sri Lanka’s economy after a period of bankruptcy and economic collapse.
“For the first time in our history, we are successfully implementing a reform programme, that is setting us on a path to long-term economic stability and social progress,” the CWC General Secretary said.
He also acknowledged President Wickremesinghe’s commitment to uplifting and fully integrating the plantation Malaiyaha Tamil community into the social-economic fabric of Sri Lanka.
He added that the decision by the CWC therefore represents the faith that the party, union and the community has in the President and his ability to resolve the issues that matter to us the most .
“An MOU between the CWC and President Wickremesinghe, setting out our requests, is currently being prepared and will be signed shortly between us,” he added.
