Reformist faction of the main opposition UNP will start up a campaign to create awareness on the appointment of the national organizer of the party which they say illegal.

UNP’s Colombo District MP Ravi Karunanayake was appointed the national organizer of the party at the Working Committee meeting last week.
A member of the reformist group told Daily Mirror that a series of meeting would be held to educate the members of the party.

He claimed that the appointment of Mr. Karunanayake was illegal as majority of Working Committee members were not present at last week’s meeting. This same sentiment regarding the appointment was expressed by Co Deputy Leader Sajith Preamadasa at a news conference last week.

Daily Mirror learns that some of the reformists were of the opinion that legal action should be taken against the appointment but no decision had been made on it yet

However others within the party were of the opinion that Mr. Karunanayake’s appointment was legal as he was appointed through consensus as per the Constitution of the party. (Yohan Perera)

This so called National Organiser couldn't organise Kotte Electorate and was thrown to Colombo where you get a automatic selection.

Ravi is more suitable for National Organizer because he has well influential with whole community people

RaviK deservses a post in the UNP,as he had been with the party during good & bad times.
But I totally disagree the way Ranil had appointed him.

What was Sajith doing at the working committee meeting if it was consensus ? Is he playing a double game?

What about Mr. Ram ? He was not allowed to contest by the so called National Organizer. Because he wouldn't have finished 2nd even of the Colombo list.

Manujer Monday, 09 May 2011 09:04 AM

Then, why was there no election for the post when there was another person proposed ? Is this the democracy that Mr. Ranil wants ?

Internal squabbles never going to end.

Despite creating awareness why can't you take legal action if it's illegal
