Hold election soon – UNP tells EC
The United National Party (UNP) has requested that the National Election Commission (NEC) hold the presidential election as soon as possible.
UNP General Secretary Palitha Range Bandara informed the media in this regard following a discussion with election commission officials today.
When asked if President Ranil Wickremesinghe would contest from the UNP or the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), the UNP General Secretary said the President would contest as an independent candidate.
Palitha Range Bandara further said that the UNP will announce its presidential candidate soon after the election commission announces the date for the presidential election.
