A national action plan to revive the United National Party (UNP) which faced a humiliating defeat at the last Presidential and Parliamentary elections would be declared in January next year, party’s Deputy Leader Ruwan Wijewardene has informed the district based party activists.

He has told them that they would be able to convey their views and proposals for the national action plan during the meetings that would be held with them next month.

Responding to a suggestion for him to accept the solitary national list slot allocated to the UNP following the

August 5 Parliamentary election,mr. Wijewardene had stated that party leader Ranil Wickremesinghe’s name had already been proposed to that parliamentary seat. He had further stated that there were other party seniors who are eligible for the seat,in the event the leader refuses to accept it. (DAYASEELI LIYANAGE)

More clowns to the circus?

Doing the same thing and expecting different results. If UNP has to revive RW, Ruwan etc have to be kicked out as they are the problem. Just buying time to stay in power, the uncle and nephew duo.

Action Plan is in the mind of RW who tactfully manipulated his way to enter Parliament and retain the leadership. Ruwan has a lot to learn from RW.

UNP works benefit of Party. SLFP works for Ministerial Benefits. SLPP works for Family Hegemony. JVP works stating everything others do is wrong but not mentioning how it can be put right. The Sinhalese accept anything with a racist tinge even if it is disaster. Muslims benefit buying the Sinhalese. Tamils know about disaster, racism

PLAN AHEAD. GO FORWARD FOR SUCCESS

Hubert Congreve Monday, 30 November 2020 10:37 AM

No way.... UNP is already dead.

Do Do Doo Monday, 30 November 2020 10:39 AM

Fight back to put Ranil out, then UNP can come up in the future. As long as Ranil remain in the party, it is counted as Zero.

Firstly - Is it reviving Ranil your aim. - if so best of luck.

Aladeniya Kirimathaya Monday, 30 November 2020 10:42 AM

Hay fool, join hands with Gota and work, at least you may get a deputy minister's post next term.

Lokku Lokka Monday, 30 November 2020 10:44 AM

You guys says Rajapakshe Family running the Govt. How about you and Ranil, you both are close relations, mind it.

Kadupol Ariyawansa Monday, 30 November 2020 12:29 PM

Try to send Ranil

Man Monday, 30 November 2020 12:57 PM

@Jude; Don't you know that Saharans' were nourished by Rajapakshas', before 2015, by paying salaries? UNP had never participated in the Security Council meetings. Hope you are in a well.

Pantha Kumaran Monday, 30 November 2020 02:05 PM

UNP was a popular party in politics until Ranil took over the helm. Ranil is not fit to run and manage a small shop. Get rid off Ranil and start reviving the party before the next election. Don't leave it too late like what Ranil had done to Sajith.

Vadivelu Yogaratnam Monday, 30 November 2020 03:56 PM

Send grandad Ranil home first.

Vasaliya Monday, 30 November 2020 09:28 PM

Trying to promote that senile old rejected cahoot RANIL!!!@

Roshan Samarathunga Monday, 30 November 2020 11:47 PM

Get to grassroots level, democracy must spread towards peace, reconciliation. Tamils, Muslims, others. Not among the few family members or thugs or idiots.
