Multiple sources confirm Dr. Harsha de Silva is an MP for the SJB and the Chair of the Committee on Public Finance (COPF). This is explicitly stated in the Daily FT and the Parliament of Sri Lanka's own records.

Web search results from Newswire and other sources indicate that Dr. Harsha de Silva has explicitly denied rumors of joining the government and insisted he will not join the administration, aligning with the claim that he has not engaged in discussions to do so.

Multiple sources confirm Eran Wickramaratne, a former SJB MP, was appointed as the Chairman of the Sri Lanka Cricket Transitional Interim Committee, which aligns with the claim of resigning from the party for a position in the interim cricket administration.

Reports from Newswire and other web results state that Dr. Harsha de Silva asserted he entered politics to develop the country rather than for narrow personal gain, supporting the claim that he did not enter politics through family connections.
