The United National Party Working Committee has unanimously decided to suspend the party memberships of 1,137 UNP Local Government body members who supported other parties.

The decision was taken at the UNP Working Committee meeting held this evening (21).

The group who had thus lost the party membership, had been elected to 341 LG bodies in 2018. According to reports from the UNP HQ, some have even handed in nominations to contest for the upcoming LG polls from other parties.
