Opposition UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has suggested a system where all political parties in a provincial council are represented in the provincial board of ministers. 
 

He had come up with this proposal when he presented a copy of UNPs new draft constitution to the Most Venerable Bellana Sri Gnanawimala Thera, the Maha Nayake Thera of the Kotte Sri Kalyana Samasri Dharama Maha Sanga Sabha of the Shamopali Chapter on Saturday.
 

Mr. Wickremesinghe also proposed that the post of chief minister should be held by the party which secures the most number of seats in the provincial council while the deputy chief minister should be from the party which secures the next highest number of seats. 
 

He suggested that this system should be extended to the central government as well depending on the success of the system in the provincial councils. (Yohan Perera)
