The main opposition UNP today said it had not decided if it would accommodate some ruling party politicians who have expressed willingness to contest under the UNP ticket at the upcoming PC polls.

UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake told a news conference that some ruling party politicians had made such requests and even demanded certain positions in the provincial councils.

Mr. Attanayake who referred to reports that the party was planning to field some female MPs as chief ministerial candidates, however said several decisions with regard to the election would be made taken only at the working committee meeting on Thursday. (Yohan Perera)
