Leader of Sri Lanka’s main opposition United National Party (UNP) Ranil Wickremesinghe at a press conference yesterday said that he and the UNP Hambantota District Parliamentarian, Sajith Premadasa would work to uplift the party.

Also addressing the press conference, the head of the UNP Reforms Committee and Parliamentarian Joseph Michael Perera said that the powers and authority vested with Wickremesinghe will not be reduced when the reforms were implemented.

He said that members to several key posts in the party will be appointed according to the party constitution.

Commenting on the leadership of the party on his Facebook page, Premadasa said that within the next 120 days there will be a decision on the main five positions and the changes to those positions will then be decided.

“There are two procedures. One is the consensual approach. If there is no consensus, there will be an internal competition,” he commented. (Colombo Page)
