UNP requires urgent restructuring to prevent further collapse - UNP MP

CHAMINDA PERERA

Commenting on the UPFA’s victory at the Western Provincial Council election, UNP Badulla District Parliamentarian Lakshman Seneviratne yesterday said the UNP requires an urgent restructuring process to prevent its further collapse at an election in the future.

According to Seneviratne, the party should undergo a massive restructuring process to evade further collapse and cracks in the party. He said most of the UNP supporters have not voted for either the UNP or other parties.

Their reluctance to vote for the Government shows that they do not endorse Government policies.

Meanwhile, UNP Kurunegala District Parliamentarian Gamini Jayawickrema Perera yesterday said the party should think why over 25–35 percent of supporters have not voted for the party.

The Government exploited the achievements gained by the Security Forces in the North at the election. Perera said the UNP is also of the opinion that the LTTE terrorists including its leader V. Prabhakaran should be destroyed for lasting peace in the country.
