The SLFP was represented by former Ministers Nimal Siripala de Silva, Mahinda Amaraweera, Anura Priyadharshana Yapa, and Duminda Dissanayake, while a group including former State Minister Premitha Bandara Tennakoon represented the SLPP faction. Professor Channa Jayasumana attended the discussion representing Dilith Jayaweera’s Sarvajana Balaya.
