Former Member of Parliament Ranjan Ramanayake has decided to leave the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB).
He mentioned that if he receives a full presidential pardon, he is ready to contest the upcoming general election under a new party.
Ramanayake, who was imprisoned on charges of contempt of court, was released under a limited presidential pardon granted by former President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
As a result, he currently does not have the right to contest in a general election.
He has requested approval from the new President, Anura Dissanayake, and stated that if he receives that approval, he is prepared to run in the election.
