Ranil recognised as Opposition Leader: Speaker

Speaker Karu Jayasuriya in a tweet said leader of the United National Front for Good Governance (UNFGG) Ranil Wickremesinghe was recognised as the leader of the opposition upholding established Parliamentary traditions.

The Speaker tweeted saying that “Recognition of the Leader of the UNFGG as the Leader of the Opposition was done upholding established Parliamentary traditions that should not be violated. While I empathise with the challengers too, it is best that a party’s internal disputes are settled from within.”
