The membership of five SLFP members contesting the parliamentary election on the UNP ticket was cancelled by party Chairman and President Maithripala Sirisena today.

SLFP Treasurer S.B. Navinna, Vice Chairman M.K.D.S. Gunawardane, Deputy Secretary Rajitha Senaratne, Arjuna Ranatunga and Hirunika Premachandra were among those whose party membership was cancelled.

Acting against SLFP principles was cited as the reason for the annulment of party membership. (LSP)

No problem for them as they stand for Policies and not rely on Party politics.

These people are not good politicians. They have very limited knowledge of politics and very narrow minded just shouting locked into personal family issues.
