Representatives of these parties met at the SLFP headquarters in Colombo on Monday (27) for discussions.

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.
