Deputy Leader of the United National Party (UNP), MInister Sajith Premadasa has requested former members of the UNP including former General Secretary Tissa Attanayake, who has quit the party, to return to the party fold.
In a special statement, Premadasa said several members had left the party because of ideological differences and pointed out that such differences could be sorted out through discussions and were not reasons to part ways.
Premadasa made this appeal in the backdrop of pushing for the presidential candidacy of the UNP.
He requested all UNP members of the provincial councils and the local governments who quit the party at some point or the other to return to the UNP fold and requested former Secretary General Attanayake who left the party in the run-up to the 2015 presidential elections to join him.
