The United National Party (UNP) Working Committee will meet soon to decide on who should be appointed as the party’s Deputy Leader of the Party; UNP media spokesman Gayantha Karunatilleke told a media conference today.

He said a date has not been fixed yet because the members are busy with the election campaign in the Uva Province.

Referring to a request by UNP’s chief ministerial candidate Harin Fernando that everyone in the party should back him at the election, Mr. Karunatilleke said he would receive the party’s full backing.

He said UPFA’s chief ministerial candidate Shashindra Rajapaksa should take up the challenge posed by Mr. Fernando for a public debate.(YP & DS)

Harin is not even the team leader of UNP. Why should the former chief minister debate with a junior guy. Shashindra is also the team leader of the UPFA group.

What happened to Karu J? I thought he's the deputy leader.. You need a young guy as the deputy leader. Maybe two posts.
