Development Strategies and International Trade Minister Malik Samarawickrama has resigned from the post of United National Party (UNP) Chairman.

He told Daily Mirror that he tendered his resignations as the party Chairman in order to facilitate the party reorganization that has been announced by the party's Working Committee.

The Ruwan Wijewardene Committee that has been appointed to collect proposals for the party reorganization had recommended that all posts of the party should be changed.

Accordingly, all party posts are to be changed before May 1. (Anjula Mahika Weerarathna)

This is interior decor or window dressing. Only structural changes and a new roof that can help old Sri Kotha.

All dinosaurs have to be all kicked out for choking a great country and suffocating its people. Good move, finally they are starting to hear and its great the news media giving a voice to people to show their displeasure.

Please tell your big boss to do the same. He should have been the first to do this if he wants the party to win elections.
