A United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) party leader distanced his party from the MoU signed on Friday between the United National Party (UNP) and Sri Lankan Freedom Party (SLFP), reported the Daily Mirror.
“The UPFA executive committee has not approved the MoU even though 90 per cent of those elected on the UPFA ticket are members of the SLFP,” the leader of the Mahajana Eksath Peramuna (MEP), Dinesh Gunawardane was quoted as saying.
The UPFA, which is led by the SLFP, also includes four other parties along side the MEP.
On Friday, the United National Party (UNP) and the Sri Lankan Freedom Party (SLFP) signed a Memorandum of Understanding outlining their commitment to a unity government for two years, after the UNP failed to win a simple majority at Monday's general election.
