The United National Party and the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna will contest the upcoming LG Polls as one alliance, the UNP confirmed. 

UNP General Secretary Palitha Range Bandara said that the new alliance will be contesting some local bodies under the UNP symbol while in some bodies they will contest under the Pohotuwa sympbol. In some other bodies, the alliance will contest under a new symbol which is yet to be decided.

An SLPP delegation led by Basil Rajapaksa met with a group of UNP members a few days ago and this decision to contest together was finalized at the meeting. (Yohan Perera)

    If people are fed up of the old system and its stakeholders, please use social media and promote the independent candidates that you are more comfortable with. Oppositions parties that criticise other parties in power but fail to share a manifesto or a minimum plan of action does not deserve a vote.

    PEOPLE WILL NOT VOTE FOR BOTH

    That means, the others will have no chance of winning by any other party.

    PEOPLE SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR BOTH

    Both are losers. Birds of feather flock together.

    How the elections in SL are to take place in the near future can already be seen in advance from the various party agreements and politicians' agreements! I don't think it's a good thing! The UNP and the SLPP are concerned with nothing other than simply maintaining power, and that at any price! I trust in the ability of the majority of Sri Lankans to see through this game of deceptions of the current ruling politicians and parties and give them the appropriate answer through their voting behavior! You will experience a disastrous defeat if the election takes place under controlled conditions!!!
