Conduct UNP campaign in a disciplined manner: Ranil

In the wake of MP Hesha Vithnage’s statement that the SLPP’s presidential candidate will have to wear a jumper if UNP candidate Sajith Premadasa is elected president of this country, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe today instructed UNP seniors to make sure that the UNP campaign was carried out in a decent and disciplined manner.

While meeting some senior ministers, he advised that all party members should work with the commitment to make the UNP candidate victorious at the presidential election.

“Our efforts should be to see that our candidate emerge victorious and not to make the rival candidate wear jumpers,” he told the seniors.
