    Irrespective of who sits in these committees, this time the UNP is going to record a historic victory neve seen before. It seems that the intelligent decision of the wise UNP membership to retain Ranil as leader is going pay off. More historic victories will follow in the next round of elections. This historic nature of victories will soon book a place for the party in the national museum! via DM Android App
