I'm the common candidate: Maithripala
.jpg)
In what appeared to be a major political strategy, the United National Party (UNP) today decided to support SLFP General Secretary and Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena as the common candidate for the upcoming presidential election.
UNP Assistant General Secretary Akila Viraj Kariyawasam said the members of the UNP’s G-20, which was set up to take decisions on the presidential election, made this decision when they convened this morning.
He said a final decision would be taken at the party’s Working Committee meeting this evening.

Now we can sleep peacefully, especially the Thamils. Life for Thamils during the last 10 years is worse than hell. The Thamils of the North and East have to put up with an occupation army over 150,000 soldiers. Every Thamil is closely watched by the army intelligence. Thousand of Thamils have lost their land to the army to construct bases, resorts, golf course, presidential palace, hotels etc. Now we can see light at the end of a dark era.
