Champika should take over the JHU and become a part of UNP forever. Champika has initiated many projects in just two years. Read the Western Region megapolis wiki page to see what he did with Ranil

Good lesson to all politicians . When time arrives , all should retire , unlike some who wants to hold posts untill die.
