evidence: The main opposition, center-right Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), is leading in informal opinion polls, with some ruling Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) legislators joining due to SJB leader Sajith Premadasa’s popularity.

[...] A new movement, Sarva Jana Balaya (SJB), has formed, comprising nationalists advocating for the Sinhala Buddhist majority. While unlikely to win the election, it could influence voters and support another candidate.
