It is reported that the majority of the party has agreed to appoint former Minister Kanchana Wijesekera and former Minister Pramita Bandara Thennakone as National List Members of the New Democratic Front led by former President Ranil Wickramasinghe.
However, the names of former Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena, Sagala Ratnayake and Ruwan Wijewardena had been proposed for these two posts, but the approval was delayed until this afternoon.
Meanwhile, former Member of Parliament Ravi Karunanayake has sent his name to the Election Commission for the post of National List MP through the Party Secretary. Several parties have already presented facts against it to the Election Commission.
