Opposition Leader Nimal Siripala De Silva yesterday claimed to have made a sacrifice of the premiership himself to bring about party unity. .

As Opposition Leader, De Silva would be the natural choice for premier in the event the UPFA wins the 17 August election

“If I also said I want the future Prime Minister candidacy what would happen? Instead I sacrificed that opportunity and Uva lost the chance to have one of its politicians take that position. But I said I want party unity and that is my only goal. We cannot split the party and allow the UNP to claim an easy victory,” the Opposition Leader told the meeting.
