UNP Headquarters Sirikotha is expected to be relocated after it has been found that there are some geological issues pertaining to its present location.

When contacted by Daily Mirror UNP Assistant Leader Akila Viraj Kariyawasam said the matter is still under discussion.

“We had an initial discussion with the party leader President Ranil Wickremesinghe on the matter but no final decision has been made," Kariyawasam said.

Kariyawasam confirmed that the initial proposal was to relocate the party headquarters to a land in Rajagiriya where the present office of Jathika Wathu Sevaka Sangamaya is located. “The plan is to hand over the Rajagiriya land to an investor to construct a multi story building and re-locate Sirikotha in two or three stories once the new building is completed,” he said.

The present Sirikotha building was constructed during the early 1980s when the party was headed by Late President J. R. Jayewardene.(Yohan Perera)

UNP did well with Sirikotha located in Kollupitiya. Since it was moved we saw its slow downfall

This is not at all an important issue during the burning crisis in SriLanka. Hay Kariyawasam are you crazy, who will pay for this?

Ranil will be the President only for another 3-4 months after that the same story, as the dead UNP will not be resurrected again, why wasting money for this petty thing?

No need any new location for Sri Kotha, if you guys touch any public money at this crucial stage the entire nation will come against with Ranil and his party, mind it.

The President of the UNP is also the President of SriLanka. So no problem to shift UNP Headquarters even to President's House in Colombo Fort.

No use of all the "GOTHAYA" (SIRIKOTHA) members is potentially moving to a new building, as the UNP has been damaged without anymore recovery.

Why a new sirikotha when the party has been killed by its leader?

Remember to contact Gnana Akka for the best location, time [nakatha] etc, now that you know Gota he will also give some advice. Coz all the developments done by GR/MR folks had the best possible nakatha and that's why we are a flourishing as One Country

What the hell are you talking about? The UNP was relocated to The Kanatte public cemetery in August 2020.

The big business or is it Central Bank Robbery spoils to funds the construction, now that Ranil is EP.
