Endorsement of Admiral Sarath Weerasekara – Defender of the Nation and Custodian of National Sovereignty

In times of unprecedented national challenges, Sri Lanka needs leaders who not only embody the spirit of the nation but also possess the unwavering courage to defend it. Admiral Sarath Weerasekara is such a leader—he has proven himself time and again, both in the defense of our sovereignty and in his steadfast political journey. As a war hero, he fought on the frontlines of one of the most pivotal battles in our nation’s history. As a parliamentarian, he has consistently voted with conviction, guided by the interests of the people and the preservation of our nation’s dignity.

Admiral Weerasekara’s journey from the battlefield to the political arena is a testament to his deep sense of duty and unwavering patriotism. His leadership in the Sri Lankan Navy during the civil war and his critical role in safeguarding the nation’s territorial integrity are achievements that speak to his character and resilience. But his service did not end when the conflict did. In the aftermath, when Sri Lanka found itself in the crosshairs of international scrutiny, it was Admiral Weerasekara who boldly took on the task of representing our country at the United Nations Human Rights Council, a forum where many would have faltered. He stood firm, defending Sri Lanka’s sovereignty with an unshakeable commitment to truth and justice.

This strength, however, has made Admiral Weerasekara a target for those who fear the influence he wields. He is one of the most formidable candidates in the political arena today, second only to the Rajapaksas in his ability to galvanize the nationalist vote and defend Sri Lanka’s interests without compromise. It is precisely this influence that has made him a target of relentless character assassination and malicious gossip—an attempt to remove him from the political landscape through smear campaigns rather than honest debate. The truth about Admiral Weerasekara will emerge, but the real question is whether it will be too late for the people to act upon it.

Admiral Weerasekara is a rare figure in Sri Lankan politics—he is a man of principle in a landscape often dominated by self-interest and short-term political maneuvering. His voting record in Parliament reflects an unflinching commitment to the people and to the nation. He has never hesitated to take a stand on crucial national issues, whether in safeguarding the cultural values that define us or in defending the territorial integrity that so many have sacrificed their lives for. His decisions are not swayed by populism or political expediency but are guided by a deep understanding of what is best for Sri Lanka.

This election is not just about choosing representatives—it is about choosing the future of our nation. The forces that have sought to undermine Admiral Weerasekara’s reputation know full well that his presence in Parliament poses a direct threat to their dangerous ambitions. His return to Parliament is not just necessary—it is essential if we are to safeguard Sri Lanka from those who seek to weaken it from within. He represents a bulwark against foreign interference, cultural erosion, and political manipulation.

The nationalist vote must rally behind Admiral Sarath Weerasekara. His record is unimpeachable; his loyalty to Sri Lanka is beyond question. In a Parliament that too often forgets the people it serves, Admiral Weerasekara stands as a voice of clarity, courage, and conviction. His leadership is not just an asset—it is a necessity for the preservation of our sovereignty and the protection of our cultural heritage.

Let us not be swayed by the lies and slander that have been leveled against him. The truth is clear: Admiral Sarath Weerasekara has served this nation with honor, and he will continue to do so if we give him the mandate to represent us. For the sake of Sri Lanka’s future, let us ensure that this war hero, defender of national sovereignty, and true patriot returns to Parliament to continue the fight for the nation we all hold dear.
