President Ranil Wickremesinghe has instructed the top brass of the United National Party (UNP) to prepare a new mechanism to bring political activists representing all major parties into the UNP fold based on their wishes.
UNP Leader Wickremesinghe had called upon them to consider the country’s rapidly changing political climate and commence work to bring in political activists in the mainstream and at rural level who represent the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), National Freedom Front (NFF), Tamil National Alliance (TNA) and Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) to the UNP as soon as possible.
President Wickremesinghe has called upon the party hierarchy to prepare this program as soon as possible and to start the future activities of the party accordingly. Wickremesinghe had given these instructions at a high-level political meeting comprising Deputy Leader Ruwan Wijewardene, Chairman Wajira Abeywardena, General Secretary Palitha Range Bandara and Deputy Leader Akila Viraj Kariyawasam.
