Defeated UNP Galle district candidate and former Member of Parliament Vajira Abeywardena says he will decide his next course of action in a weeks time. There was speculation he might leave the UNP if he is not given a national list slot from the party.
When contacted by Daily Mirror online and asked if he will quit the UNP and join the government if he is not given a national list slot by the party to enter parliament, the former UNP MP said he will not comment on it to the media and his decision will be known in a week’s time.
It is believed that Abeywardena has demanded for a national list slot from his party after he was defeated at the General Elections held recently. (Daily Mirror online)
