Colombo District Final Result: SLPP wins 12 seats
Mobitel Inner

The final result of the Colombo District has been released and the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) has secured an unprecedented victory in the district, which had hitherto been a UNP stronghold.

 

SLPP received 674,603 votes (57.04%) and won a total of 12 seats in the district while the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) with 387,145 votes (32.73%) secured 06 seats.

 

Jathika Jana Balawegaya (JJB) obtained 67,600 votes (5.72%) and won one seat from the district.

 

The United National Party (UNP) led by former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, who contested from the district, only managed 30,875 votes (2.61%).

 

Therefore the UNP has failed to secure a single seat in Colombo District, a first for the party.
