The second generation of UNP leaders, including it’s Deputy Leader Sajith Premadasa will have to wait for another 11 years to get hold of the reigns of the party from its current Leader Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, MP Susil Premajayantha said today.

Speaking at a news conference of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), he commented on PM Wickremesinghe’s speech made at the UNP’s 72nd Convention held recently.

“The Premier said the next generation of party leaders are being groomed to take over the party by 2030. This means Sajith, Akila, Navin and others will have to wait 11 more years. Even at 2030, there is no assurance as to who will get the party leadership. There were many demands within the UNP asking for a leadership change. The people who asked for a change are silent now,” he said. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

    Why are you worried about the UNP, try to find a party for you to get a ministry.

    Opportunists taboo Friday, 14 September 2018 01:00 PM

    Another big rogue waiting for a ministry jumped to MS side now out again and hoping that MR will get back slimy dood unworthy of office

    Rogues become rogues when it is proven like what happenned to Ranil

    Why are you worried about UNP. Try to do some work while you enjoy the facilities and privileges you have right now as an MP. For god shake do some positive work rather than talking

    He presently enjoys the political life that is gifted by MR regime not by knocked-out UNP fellows.

    VJ Friday, 14 September 2018 01:12 PM

    You are really pathetic.

    Dhammika Friday, 14 September 2018 03:00 PM

    AMERICANO Sunday, 16 September 2018 10:48 AM

    See dirty patrol's knowledge in arithmetic !

    Don Friday, 14 September 2018 04:38 PM

    Susil hits the nail on the head.Because he tells things UNPers do not like to hear people on this forum call him Hora etc UNP pack up to go home. UNP is the party which killed 60000 people in 1987 that is why they are still struggling to get more than 33% in major elections (2018 Feb)

    We studied about crocodile tears way back in nursery class. Now we see the two legged crocodile mired in dirty petrol shedding tears for his unrelated foes.

    Dallas Saturday, 15 September 2018 10:01 AM

    Above is not crocodile tears but a genuine proven allegation against the UNP

    Dee Friday, 14 September 2018 04:40 PM

    And you guys will have to wait like 'forever'!

    Ram Friday, 14 September 2018 04:41 PM

    Look after your house without peeping into next door

    sarath Friday, 14 September 2018 04:59 PM

    at least they can get the leader's role in 11 years. You have to wait till your next birth

    Dasa Friday, 14 September 2018 05:29 PM

    As a JO leader I wonder how long you will have to wait.. no matter who comes next time.

    CITIZEN Friday, 14 September 2018 05:36 PM

    What about you "criers"? It seems, none of you ever!!! Leadership and Power are the monopoly of Rajapakses'!

    Buddhist Friday, 14 September 2018 06:23 PM

    Do not worry about UNP, worry about your own party. How long are the non Rajapakse members going to wait to take over the leadership? 100 years?

    Jaliya Friday, 14 September 2018 06:36 PM

    Premier wants to set a long lasting example to those teenage UNP members of the parliament ... look ...age is not a barrier I came wearing a diaper

    Gamini Saturday, 15 September 2018 11:43 AM

    Why do you care? What's the hurry?

    TONY Saturday, 15 September 2018 11:47 AM

    11 YEARS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO YOUR WAIT UNTIL THE RAJAPASHAS BECOME EXTICT
