By What’s attracting Voters to the NPP
There is no dispute of the fact that the NPP has been increasing it’s support vote base-Why are voters flocking around the NPP and its Presidential candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayaka ?
Here are the key reasons.
1. Tackling Corruption Head-On
Corruption is rampant, from top government officials to local municipalities, where even the poorest must pay bribes for basic services. While the SJB promises to tackle corruption, their track record is dubious. Remember Ranjan Ramanayake’s infamous line about political connections? (Un Okkoma Yaluwo Malli –They are all friends Bro)
NPP stands apart. Unlike others who mingle in social circles and political playdates, NPP members maintain strict discipline and remain untainted by the corruption network. Their clean record proves they can’t be bought.
2. Bringing Discipline Back
Discipline is the cornerstone of NPP’s approach. Unlike other parties where members jump ship for perks or engage in petty squabbles, NPP stays true to its principles. Their parliamentary conduct is exemplary—focused debates, no quarrels, and always to the point. They bring a level of professionalism and decorum that’s a breath of fresh air.
3. Controlling Union Power
Why: NPP/JVP controls most of the unions and handles them with authority. Their ministers and members lead by example, living modestly and shunning luxury. This no-nonsense approach means unions can’t demand unfair deals without facing public scrutiny. NPP’s discipline and low profile make them formidable in managing union demands.
4. Navigating Geopolitical and Foreign Affairs
NPP is poised to handle international relations with integrity. They propose a “Janataha Viyaparayak”—a people-centric governance model that invites global support, not just loans. Their commitment to genuine democracy and anti-corruption reforms makes them the preferred choice for countries that value human rights and transparent governance.
5. Steering the Economy
NPP is backed by a coalition of scientists, economists, and specialists who trust their economic vision. Unlike other parties with decades of governance failures, NPP’s approach involves experts who will drive real progress. Anura Kumara Dissanayake has highlighted that under NPP, ministerial roles are symbolic, with substantial work handled by field experts. This blend of experienced leadership and expert insight makes NPP the best bet for a stable and thriving economy
