President loses economic credibility amidst grapple against crisis? Poll shows
More than 25 per cent believe that Leader of the National People’s Power (NPP) and the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Anura Kumara Dissanayake would be the ideal person for economic recovery, whilst more than 15 per cent believe that Leader of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) and Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa would be the man, according to the poll by Daily Mirror.
Meanwhile, less than 10 per cent believe that neither of the political leaders are capable of setting the island nation on a path to recovery.
Collectively put, about 55 per cent of the votes stand against President Wickremesinghe, who has about 44 per cent votes in favour.
The incumbent government led by Wickremesinghe is currently under severe criticism for not allowing the holding of the Local Government Election and approving a series of repressive measures against peaceful protests in the country.
