A phase of the series of meeting of the UNP in the Hambantota District took place in the  town of  Ambalantota town on Wednesday evening under the auspices of UNP Hambantota District Candiate Sajith Premadasa.

The UNP Hambantota district candidate stated that there is a vast difference between the current president, who is governing the country, and the former president. He alleged that  the former President has become a ‘captain’ at slinging mud on the political stage and now he has lied, slung mud and rendered the public helpless.

He further noted that the former president is trying to become prime minister through the back door and he is trying to send Maithripala Sirisena home and that his target is to sneak his way to the seat of the president. But his attempt is just a dream, said Sajith Premadasa.
