The United National Party (UNP) Working Committee and the Parliamentary Group which met today had decided that the party leadership should not be changed immediately, Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayake said.

However, he said it was decided that other positions of the party should be changed.

Meanwhile, a special committee has been appointed to take decisions with regard to the appointments of new office bearers of the party.

The 11 member-committee has been given more powers than both the Working Committee and the Parliamentary Group.

Navin Dissanayake, Ajith P. Perera, Harin Fernando, Akila Viraj Kariyawasam, Eran Wickremeratne, Ruwan Wijewardene, Mangala Samaraweera and Ranjith Madduma Bandara are some of the members of the new committee. (Yohan Perera)

    Nothing to surprise. It will be the decision, for ever. Even Ranil wants to resign, his loyal friend, Mahinda R. won't allow.

    Sorry backbenchers changing the leadership will not happen...RW once again cheated your guys..

    Misunderstood Sunday, 08 April 2018 11:24 AM

    Ranil and his bedroom Working Committee can decide. But we the voters too will decide. He prooved who he is and we are sad we thought he was Mr Clean.

    Unchikun Sunday, 08 April 2018 11:50 AM

    A sensible decision. The change in the leadership should come on the eve of an election.

    willowsd Sunday, 08 April 2018 11:50 AM

    This is good you can't changer everything overnight, change the top positions and once they are settled, then change the leader and face fresh 2020?

    Don Juwan Sunday, 08 April 2018 06:58 PM

    Some people have the suicidal tendency.I guess Ranil wishes to be ousted like Saddam Hussain, or Khaddafi.

    Dharmasena Yaddehige Sunday, 08 April 2018 06:58 PM

    Here we go again. Another false promise and silly, empty moves which are just an eyewash.
