Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa will give his ruling in Parliament today on the post of opposition leader, informed sources said.

After some of United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) members accepted portfolios in the government, other opposition parties have staked a claim for the post of opposition leader.

Meanwhile, National Freedom Front and Democratic Left Alliance are backing Mahajana Eksath Peramuna (MEP) Leader Dinesh Gunawardane for the post while the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) as the single largest party in the opposition is also vying for the post. (Kelum Bandara)
