A group of SLFPers will join the new alliance which will be led by Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa, a UNP parliamentarian said yesterday.

UNP MP Sujeewa Senasinghe told a press conference held at Parliamentary complex that a group of SLFPers and a few new political parties will join the alliance lead by Mr. Premadasa shortly.

Therefore, he said the alliance will have a new name and a symbol.

Also, he said the opinion of the UNP working committee on the appointment of Ranjith Madduma Bandara and the other decisions pertaining to the new alliance will not be important now, as the appointment of Madduma Bandara was approved by the party leader Ranil Wickremesinghe and other MPs who are part of the said committee.

“No one in the working committee will oppose the decisions,” he said. (Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)

    UNP led alliance with SLFP like Maithree, Chandrika and JVP, TNA, CONGRESS, Batuideen still will not win the general election. Rememebr you had this alliance during the presidential election but had a whopping defeat and people this time will further endorse Gota- Mahinda leadership

    I don't think that "below 65" means they are idiots

    Are they so mad??? Even SP does not talk on behalf of his close supporters who axed by RW.

    Who are these SLFPiers? Those jumping unintellectual figures like Soyza and the clan who are already sitting in the opposition? If Sumanitarian, Sampanthan and Badudeen are also in this clan, people will never vote for you. When are you going to learn a lesson?

    Mr. Sujeewa Senasinghe, you are yet to mature in Sri Lanka politics. Don't be over confident and the over confidence led you to so many obstacles in the past, we think you remember it.

    What other chance do they have? Stay with an idiot or switch to a criminal mafia mob.

    I have heard of people jumping from a sinking ship. This is a story of some SLFPers jumping into the sinking ship! This is the most hilarious story I've read in a long time. What's the new alliance called - SLFUNK party? I'm honestly laughing my sides out.
