The Economic Times reported on November 23 that the Sri Lanka People's Front Party (SLPP), led by former Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, held a large rally on November 21, claiming "to seize the opportunity to overthrow the National People's Power Party (NPP) government." The rally was held in Nugegoda, a suburb of Colombo, and attracted a large number of people. Namal Rajapaksa, the eldest son of Mahinda Rajapaksa, gave a speech, accusing the government led by Anura Kumara Dissanayake of not fulfilling the promises made during the 2024 election, and clearly stated "he will overthrow the government at the first opportunity." It is reported that after the "National People's Power Party" (NPP) government led by Dissanayake took office, it began to hold members of the previous Rajapaksa government accountable, with many being sentenced or released on bail for corruption. Namal also said that he would not back down due to party members being charged with corruption and imprisoned or released on bail, and would continue to fight.
