2 June 2015 09:16 am

DLF Leader Vasudeva Nanayakkara today challenged United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) General Secretary Susil Premajayantha to announce whether he supported the political cohabitation between President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.

Mr. Nanayakkara told Daily Mirror that the President, despite being the UPFA Chairman, was having a political powwow with the UNP leadership.

“In fact, we, as UPFA allies wanted an end to this cohabitation and form a formidable political force against the UNP. Mr. Premajayantha should announce whether he supports the political understanding between the President and the Prime Minister. Otherwise, he should announce whether he is against it,” he said.

Mr. Nanayakkara was responding to a statement issued by Mr. Premajayantha that parties not represented in the UPFA Executive Committee should refrain from making policy announcements. (Kelum Bandara)
