The Sri Lanka Podujana Party formed under the leadership of Prof G.L. Peiris is a party for the disillusioned SLFP members, Lanka Sama Samaja Party leader Prof. Tissa Vitharana said.

The new party is a vehicle for those who want to follow the leadership of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, he added.

The Socialist People's Front will also look to form an alliance with the new party, he added.
