The UNP will decide on its next course of action including the likelihood of a secret ballot to select a candidate for the premiership after the Supreme Court delivers its Judgment today, with regard to the petition filed against the dissolution of Parliament, Party Spokesman Harin Fernando said yesterday.
Mr. Fernando was responding to reports that the UNF was preparing to have a secret ballot to decide on a suitable person to take over the Premiership.
“We will decide on the next course of action only after the Supreme Court delivers its judgment on the dissolution of Parliament today,” he said.
“We will have to think of our next move especially if an election is going to be held,” he added.
President Maithriapala Sirisena on Tuesday said current leader of UNP Ranil Wickremeisnghe will not be appointed as the Prime Minister even if all 225 MPs tell him to do so. (Yohan Perera)

UNP's decision to elect the nominee for Premiership by secret ballot is an admirable and most democratic move, as this will show to the voters UNP's belief in upholding democracy, at this crucial juncture.But the President's declaration that he is ready to defy even if all the 225 Elected Representatives agree for one particular candidate, is beyond reason of any sane and democratic leader. Sirisena's move therefore will only lead to chaos and anarchy.
