Anunayake of the Malwathu Chapter, Most Venerable Niyangoda Vijithasiri Thero further elaborated; A close examination of recent events reveals that they are far from trivial.
During a period of significant political upheaval, President Ranil Wickremesinghe took on the responsibility of leading our nation with courage and integrity, aiming to navigate and safeguard the country through its turbulent times. With his considerable ability, experience, and understanding, President Wickremesinghe has made substantial progress. He has alleviated many of the hardships facing the country and garnered both national and international support, moving the nation forward.
This effort is well-recognized by both the Maha Sangha and the general public. As Winston Churchill observed after World War II, reflecting on past events and their outcomes can provide valuable insights for shaping a meaningful future. In times of political, economic, and social crises, the perspectives of experienced leaders are crucial.

Chief Incumbent of Hunupitiya Gangarama, Venerable Dr. Kirinde Assaji Thero; When President Ranil Wickremesinghe took on the presidency, the country was in turmoil. He stepped into the role with a deep commitment to the nation and its people, at a time when no one else was willing to lead during the crisis.
Under his leadership, the fears that plagued the country were addressed, and he managed to stabilize the economy, reviving it and steering it towards a positive trajectory. However, it is important to recognize that there are still underlying issues that could resurface if we become complacent. To ensure continued progress, it is crucial for those who care about the country to support and sustain these efforts for a few more years, thereby solidifying the economy.
The Venerable Maha Sangha has consistently prioritized the nation and its people, offering timely warnings and guidance whenever needed. Today, these leaders visit the President’s official residence to extend their blessings and support for his on-going work. We believe that stabilizing the future of our country is essential, and the individual elected in this election should not only work to advance the nation but also uphold and protect the country’s religious and cultural heritage, driving the country towards further positive development.
Today, both the Maha Sangha and the public have a positive impression of President Ranil Wickremesinghe. We are confident that he and his team will effectively carry out their duties to prevent fraud and corruption. Their mission is to deter unethical practices, address the shortcomings of previous administrations, and guide the country towards a more promising future.
They have the support and blessings of the revered Maha Sangha in this endeavour. Solosmastanadhipathi Asgiri Parshwa Anunayake Most Ven. Vedaruve Upali Anunayake Thero, Kalyani Samagri Dharma Maha Sangha Sabha Most Ven.
