While saying it was unlikely that UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe would enter Parliament through the party's single national list slot, UNP General Secretary Akila Viraj Kariyawasam said yesterday the party would decide on Monday as to who will be nominated to fill the slot.

Former UNP MP Vajira Abeywardene said the UNP did not have a tradition of sending defeated candidates to Parliament through the national list. (Yohan Perera)

If RW comes through the National list it will be the most disgraceful event in Srilankan politics. Better learn from the mistakes of protecting the R'paksa's and AM. Remember if you sleep with dogs you wake up with fleas. The most intellectual person I've known but ego paved your way towards utter failure. However, you still can make a comeback.

People will realise Ranil Wikremasinghe's value in the not too distant future .UNP will rise ,like a phoenix from the ashes.All SJB pundits who talk big and insult their former leader now,were silent ,when he was given a fresh mandate at the Party convention last year,when the leader was decent enough to hold Mrs.Premadasa's hand and propose her son's name as the Presidential candidate.The leader was given a fresh term by a unanimous decision at that large gathering.So, why are they shouting now?It is very clear to any genuine UNPer that this is a grand conspiracy and there is more to it than meets the eye.
