Sri Lanka Freedom Party court ruling rejects Jayasekara's leadership bid

The Western Provincial Civil Appellate Court has rejected a petition by Dayasiri Jayasekara seeking formal recognition as the General Secretary of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP).

Jayasekara, a veteran politician and former minister, sought the court's intervention to assert authority within the party. The ruling is a setback in an ongoing internal power struggle involving rival factions claiming legitimacy over key organizational roles. The SLFP, which has historically been the political home of several Sri Lankan presidents, continues to face leadership disputes and declining electoral influence.
