UNP Mayoral candidate for Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) A. J. M. Muzamil today expressed confidence in capturing the council at the coming local government election despite the challenges faced by the party.

Mr. Muzamil told a news conference that he was chosen as the mayoral candidate by the nomination board appointed by the party nomination board which the compassed party leader, two deputy leaders, the national organiser and General Secretary and has the backing of all of them.

Responding to a question raised by the journalists about the suggestion made by some sections of the party to filed former minister Imitiyaz Bakeer Markar as the Mayoral candidate, he said there was no issue with that proposal as any one in the party has the right to make any proposal. However he said Mr. Bakeer Markar did not express his desire to contest at any time.

All the poitical parties know that CMC will win by UNP. What they are trying to do is to minimize the gap between the UNP and opposition.

Work as a Team and prove that the strength of COLOMBO to the world.

Good Luck!

I doubt the UNP will be able to win the CMC this time! The reason being, the UNPers are dissapointed and will not go to vote as a silent protest. Another is the UNP has failed to nominate experienced politicians as their mayoral candidate. I too am a UNPer from Colombo who has no plans of going to vote.

Yes, very bad selection for Mayoral Candidate. UNP should have more efficient candidate than him.

It's really very simple. If someone like Imtias Bakeer Markar was contestings.... we would vote for him cos he' s a gentleman of a politician. Thanks to you contesting we would proudly vote for the other side now!!!!

So UNP leadership cannot be blamed for the losses, its people like you who bring the party down. Having said said, the select committee headed by Karu J and Sajith P himself a member, mind you.
