Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Mujibur Rahman has announced that Riza Zarook will be fielded as the mayoral candidate for the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC).
He also confirmed that the approval of all opposition parties has been obtained for this decision.
A special meeting of representatives from the SJB, UNP, SLFP, and SLPP parties was held last week at a prominent hotel in Kollupitiya, Colombo, to discuss and reach a common understanding on the establishment of power in Local Government bodies where the majority power has not been established yet.
As a result, an agreement was reached to appoint the SJB to the position of Mayor of Colombo, with the UNP taking the post of Deputy Mayor.
Meanwhile, the National People’s Power (NPP) has nominated Vraie Cally Balthazar as its mayoral candidate.
