Dayasiri to cross over

Speculation is rife that UNP Kurunegala District MP Dayasiri Jayasekera is to cross over to the government today. UNP sources said that MP Jayasekera had reportedly met President Mahinda Rajapaksa and discussed the impending cross over.

Political sources said that MP Jayasekera was likely to resign from his seat shortly to contest the North Western Provincial Council elections on the UPFA ticket.
