The former SJB MP communicated his decision to step aside from party responsibilities through an official letter to the organization. Abeysinghe's departure marks another shift within the ranks of the opposition party as it navigates its political trajectory following recent electoral contests.
In his resignation correspondence, Abeysinghe conveyed his best wishes to Premadasa, expressing hope that the party leader would be endowed with the necessary strength and resolve to guide the SJB forward. The nature of his specific positions within the party structure was not immediately detailed.
