Ranil will enter parliament through National List - Vajira

Colombo (News 1st); The UNP has unanimously decided that Ranil Wickremesinghe should be appointed to the National List seat in Parliament, said UNP Chairman & Galle District Leader Vajira Abeywardena on Thursday (15).

The UNP suffered a humiliating loss at the last Parliamentary election in August failing to win a single seat but only secure a National List seat. Vajira Abeywardena told reporters Ranil Wickremesinghe would enter parliament from the National List, and there is no debate about it. Wickremesinghe is expected to be nominated for the national list seat in a few months, he said.
