Patali Champika Ranawaka, the former Member of Parliament of the Samagi Jana Balawega, has left the party..
It is based on the controversial situation regarding giving him a position as a member of the national list in the parliamentary elections of that alliance.
Mr. Champika Ranawaka said in a press conference held in Colombo that he will not contest this election because he has violated the MoU with Samagi Jana Sanandhana and his party.
