It’ll take longer for UNP to select a good leader - Johnston

December 31, 2019 02:11 pm

In the recent history of the United National Party (UNP), it has never had a politician who is as unperceptive as Sajith Premadasa, says Minister Johnston Fernando.

Speaking to media at Kurunegala, he said the UNP will suffer a massive defeat in the upcoming general election regardless of whoever becomes its leader.

According to Minister Fernando, the defeated presidential candidate must not be demanding the UNP’s leadership at a time like this and should let Ranil Wickremesinghe continue to hold the post.

It will take longer for the UNP to select a good leader, the Minister added.
