A tense situation was reported at the UNP party headquarters in Sirikotha when a group of UNP supporters arrived to hand over a document on reviving the party.

They alleged that the Secretary of NDF, MP Ravi Karunanayake, had arrived just as they were leaving and assaulted them, claiming that the group was trying to undermine Karunanayake's appointment to Parliament through the NDF national list.

How come so called experienced leader Ranil Rajapaksa did not know anything about the appointment of Ravi Karunanayake as an MP from the National List. This Ranil is an L Board Politician.

After assaulting the UNP council member, Nayananda in 2017 or so, after barring nomination for him. But, he contested independently and won.

How are those experienced people so clueless on one person getting national list on their own. Aiyo Seeeya u can’t even run a party let alone a country. The more you stay out the more people see what a failure you are.

The UNP cannot get their act right how come! They are supposed to be a seasoned experienced lot.

This shows that had the UNP won the election, the amount of post-election violence that could result, as in years past with emergency and curfews.

Ranil is a political novice and should have gone home at 2005 Presidential election. Even at this time, he played his political cards like a joker.

People have spoken. The rejected UNP should pack up and go and be gracious in defeat.

Talking about tension in the UNP....I have not seen RW send out any congratulatory message to the winners. Any decent political leader, especially of a recognised party, usually would congratulate the winner. This man is not capable of such decency and professionalism. The fact that he has left the country on the day the new parliament met, shows his true calibre.

The leadership of the United National Party (UNP) committed two significant historical blunders: admitting Ravi Karunanayake into the party and allowing Sajith Premadasa to leave. The UNP leader, Ranil Wickremesinghe, bears responsibility for these decisions. Ravi Karunanayake's notorious reputation was well-established, and his actions played a key role in the party's downfall. In time, it is likely that Karunanayake will leverage his financial resources to seize control of the UNP.

Our clever SL people did not vote for Pina for the last time! Pina was like that for 50 years and destroyed all parties including UNP, SLPP, LSSP, CP etc and finally himself! Now left for India to talk rubbish and escape from these problems! Kick him out first!

RW wants AKD to guide Sri Lanka through a වැල් පාලම for country's betterment. But today he wasn't there to guide his own party. How funny - right? Still you believe him guys?

I have no doubt these dramas are orchastrated by that sneaky Sha Gala ,who completely derailed Ranil's election campaign.Maybe Sajja too has a hidden hand.I voted for him thinking he still had a chance to beat the lier who ran an excellent campaign.However during the aftermath of the presidential election defeat ,i realized all Sajja wants is to take revenge from Ranil.This Short - sighted ,infant threw away his chance to become the prime minister for 5 years and President for atleast 5 or maybe 10 years just to get back at Ranil.He destroyed the UNP and people like Mr Mannapperuma ,who genuinely wanted both UNP and SJB to unite and face the Red menance.By the time Sri lankans understand how bad they got fooled by JVP/NPP and willing to teach them a lesson ,it will be Namal who will be perfectly poised to become president and both UNP/SJB will be in fragments

Sri Lanka is now rid of a good majority of the Diyawanna Oya famed corrupt lot. Next few years of a clean AKD government will take care of the remaining few, Namal included !

Ranil is not a rogue, but he protected the rogues of Rajapakshes team and became a worst rouge. But Ravi is dam rogue robbed the CB using Arjuna Mahendran. The anger from the supporters of UNP was against Ranil who was planning to creep in from National List knowing this Ravi had a high jump to the EC and registered himself with the documents he had. Now the match is over.

Ranil is not a rogue Monday, 25 November 2024 07:42 AM

"Ranil is not a rogue, but he protected the rogues of Rajapakshes team and became a worst rouge." Your conclusion is correct but you ignored something very important. Every one Ranil trusted in his own camp turned out to be another Brutus trying to stab Ranil after gaining what they wanted. You name them and they gained it. So Ranil had to protect Rajapassas in order ensure his own protection. This is what happened. But the price Ranil paid was very large, including his party.

.It seems you're pointing out how Ravi Karunanayake's alleged actions and Ranil Wickremesinghe's lack of control over such figures reflect poor governance and raise serious concerns about accountability and the country's future stability.A governance structure where key figures act without oversight and prioritize personal gain over public interest can't effectively run a country. It raises questions about the future stability and efficiency of the current administration.
