Colombo, May 7 (Daily Mirror) - The United National Party (UNP) is willing to engage in dialogue to determine ways and means to cooperate with other Opposition parties to form joint administrations in local bodies of which the Opposition enjoys a majority, party General Secretary Thalatha Athukorala said today.

“We are willing to engage in a dialogue with the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) and others to form administrations in local bodies of which the Opposition commands a majority," Ms. Athukorala told journalists.

“Our intention is to oust the ruling NPP out of power as they have deceived the people continuously,” she added.

“We were always ready to work with the SJB and both I and our Deputy Leader Ruwan Wijewardene did hold a dialogue with them some time back. This process can be resumed now,” she also said.

Sad that these power hungry politicians do not know that In any coalition based system, voters are unable to know what coalitions may form after an election, further distancing voter preferences from electoral results. It is a bizarre concoction just for personal benefit.

Of course they have a common plan, that is to continue the carnival of robbing and feathering their own nests.

According my view the UNP will be varnishing from the Sri Lankan political seen. Already UNP is on lying the bed no way to recover. Sorry Madem Athukorala. NO WAY TO UNP.

Your party is rejected by voters once again. After a long period of time (many decades) you lost Colombo Municipal council.

Nation should thrive if you all are to survive Thursday, 08 May 2025 07:22 AM

High time you all realized the pathetic situation in the nation. Your internal personal rift brought chaos not only to the party, but to the nation as well. Finally all of you lost and gave looters a free hand to plunder. All of you, get down from your high horses and seriously think of serving the nation. Remember that the nation should thrive if you all are to survive. It is better late than never.

Again you are trying to fell under the feet of Sajith. You all are shameless tiny peanuts. Try to stand firm and build your party than begging Sajith for positions again.
