The selection of a name for the new party to be formed under the leadership of former president Mahinda Rajapaksa is to be completed by next week sources close to the joint opposition said.

They said that as many as 4,622 names had been suggested by email alone while some 7,000 names had been suggested by post.

The sources said a committee has been tasked to shortlist the names before outlining the new party's policies.

Three President’s Counsel, two university teachers and another civil society leader have been entrusted with the task of formulating the policies which would be handed over to a panel of JO leaders including Mr. Rajapaksa.

A membership drive is to be launched from November 7 to 15. (Kelum Bandara)

    :"A membership drive is to be launched from November 7 to 15." AND in this instance those who join will not have to pay membership fees but INSTEAD "fees" will flow in the reverse direction.

    That's because all his good was completely dwarfed by the corrupt system he put in place.

    Eagle Front you will also be given a good position where the New JO Party is concerned. Rogues and Uneducated People are the ones with some sort of Disorder.

    Citizen Saturday, 08 October 2016 11:48 AM

    Very true. Sick and frightened

    Madiya Saturday, 08 October 2016 09:48 AM

    That is easy Sir. . The best name is "Ali Baba Freedom Party".

    Eagle Front Saturday, 08 October 2016 11:15 AM

    All comments made above are people with some sort of disorder. What did the yahapalakayas done for this country. Nothing but creating more rift between people and races. What has happened to state institutions and all drowning. Very soon you will experience more like Mahendran and Central bank and you will see Mr Clean protecting them because he is dumb or he is a part of it.
