MP Lasantha Alagiyawanna has been appointed as the new Treasurer of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) at the SLFP Central Committee meeting.

MP Alagiyawanna had replaced MP S. B. Dissanayake, who held the post previously.

Further, MP Weerakumara Dissanayake was appointed the new SLFP Spokesperson replacing MP Mahinda Samarasinghe.
