The Tamil National Alliance will serve as the main opposition in Sri Lanka, said the TNA MP Selvam Adaikkalanathan, after the UNP and SLFP decided to form a unity government following Monday's election, reports the Daily Mirror.
The UNP last week signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the SLFP on forming a unity government for the next two years, after it failed to win a simple majority, obtaining 106 parliamentary seats.
The TNA won 16 parliamentary seats, making it the third largest party in parliament.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
