MP Anura Priyadarshana Yapa has been given the  responsibility of heading the new alliance, which has been initiated by  MP Nimal Lanza, sources close to MP Lanza said.   


The proposal to hand over all responsibilities to MP Yapa  including the power of carrying out discussions with various parties  was made by MP Lanza and Minister Susil Premajayantha according to  sources.   
Mr. Yapa was appointed when the group of MPs representing  the new alliance met in the Parliamentary complex recently. It was  reported that Minister Nalin Fernando has remarked that the leadership  of the new alliance had gone to North Western Province.   


It is expected that some local politicians from Colombo, Puttalam and other districts will join the alliance.   
It was also revealed that SLPP General Secretary Sagara  Kariyawasam has rejected the idea of going for a TV debate with Mr.  Lanza.   


The new alliance has also planned to form its own Bhikkhu organization soon.
