It is reported that three parliamentarians, who crossed over from the United National Party to support the conspiratorial government, are having discussions to return to the UNP.
According to political sources, parliamentarians Wijeydasa Rajapaksha, S.B. Navinna and Dunesh Gankanda have had discussions over the phone with a leader from the United National Front (UNF). It is also learnt that Wijeydasa Rajapaksha had agreed to forgo a ministerial portfolio if he is appointed as the UNF organizer for either Maharagama or Homagama electorates.
The UNF parliamentarian who is facilitating the discussions with the three MPs is trying to persuade UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe to accommodate them by stating that the UNF needs to strengthen its number of legislators in the House, sources said.
