UPFA not ready to throw in towel yet

The United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) yesterday said that efforts to form their own Government have not been abandoned yet, despite Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe’s statement to re-establish his authority.

“Discussions are still ongoing and we will announce an outcome on Monday,” UPFA General Secretary Minister Mahinda Amaraweera told Daily FT.

Amaraweera, however, dismissed reports that a memorandum of understanding was signed with the Joint Opposition, but confirmed that negotiations are underway to determine the way forward.

The UPFA and the Joint Opposition (JO) yesterday announced that a two-member committee comprising Minister Susil Premajayantha and JO MP Dinesh Gunawardana have been appointed to hold talks with potential cross-overs and alliance partners. (CD)
