Colombo, September 20 (Daily Mirror) - Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) sacked three of its members- Pavithra Wanniarachchi, S.M. Chandrasena and Rohitha Abeygunawardane - from all their positions for defying the party’s stand at the presidential election and supporting President Ranil Wickremesinghe.

SLPP General Secretary Sagara Kariyawasam informed them in writing that they would be stripped of their positions in the party.

The party decided to field MP Namal Rajapaksa as the presidential candidate.

However, these thre MPs were among those who went against the official stand of the party and decided to back the President instead.

The second and third preferences, too must be marked, even when casting the vote for Namal, to prevent Anura getting selected as paving the way for Gota part II.

Serves them right for deserting such a great party that they themselves contributed in no small measre to bring the country to its knees.

These types bribe their voter base and get re-elected at the elections. These kinds of shameless politicians, with no integrity, have no self-respect. They are utterly shameless. Who were their parents? At the very least, their children should have advised them against their disgraceful behavior in the political arena. One thing I’ve noticed is that lawyers have no shame. They can prove that black is white, and they’ll do it for money. Therefore, being a lawyer should not be considered a qualification for becoming a minister, as they will never be honest.

Main thing is not to worry. They will be taken to SLPP if they return before the Parliamentary elections nominations. We have seen this happening all the time with UNP, SLFP, SLPP and SJB

It is very difficult to believe they were sacked. Some are family members and are very very very 200 % loyal to God Father. Is it a election gimmick and I smell a rat.

Decision to support RR is wrong. Namal baby is not a suitable candidate.

SLPP should all those who backed Ranil. They cannot support a candidate who is not one of their party member. Besides, SLPP made a big mistake backing Ranil for the interim President after Gotha's resignation. If not for their backing Ranil would have never dreamed of becoming the President, who has now broken a party which has ruled the country for decades. Good lesson for SLPP. Besides, Namal winning the present Presidential Election is very doubtful. However he would have a chance of becoming the PM at the forth coming General Election. Party should back him aggressively and find new candidates to seek General Election. They should not take back the deserters. Kariyawasam should take note of this.
