Several names have been proposed for the United National Party (UNP)’s post of General Secretary, sources close to party leadership said yesterday.

The post became vacant after General Secretary Kabir Hashim tendered his resignation.

Several names including Akila Viraj Kariyawasam, Navin Dissanayake and Imtiyaz Bakeer Markar have been proposed for the post according to sources. However, no final decision has been arrived yet, according to sources.

It was also reported that positions in the party will not be changed before the National New year. However, they will be changed before the end of this month as the term of the present office bearers ends on April 29, 2018.

Meanwhile, newly appointed 12 member politburo members will meet for the first time today to discuss on the reorganization of the party. (Yohan Perera)

It looks like these guys have not seen the elephant in the room (Mr. Sajith Premadasa). It is time a competent person runs the country.

Akila should not given this post, since he a RW henchman, Imtiaz is the ideal person who will support the New Leadership in the future.

I think Imtiyaz Bakeer Marker should be appointed as Gen Sec of UNP as he had been a long standing with the party n has wide experiences

Leader must change first and the new leader can assist to form his team. Navin and Imthiaz are both good for the job of Secretary.

The general secretary is irrelevant to the UNP as it has a honest, charismatic, popular and brilliant leader. Only this great leader is enough to win any election and ruin the country. Ha Ha Ha. That was a right royal joke. Sorry.

sajith is a big no, because his connection to sirasa. another 1989 repetition. the opposition will have field day flabbergasting him and unp. the best choice would be unf to consider mangala and navin either way, so they can get support of jvp and other small parties against slfp and slpp combo
