It is reported that the Minister of Agriculture Mahinda Amaraweera stated that he is still the legal Secretary General of the United People’s Freedom Alliance and that the court will decide in the near future who will be the legal Secretary General based on the judicial actions taken by him.
The minister who commented further,
Legally, I am still the General Secretary of the United People’s Freedom Alliance. Some of them held press conferences by hitting the boards, but they have no legal right. Because the Election Commissioner has also stated that he will not accept the person who is now working as the General Secretary of the United People’s Freedom Alliance. Therefore, that person has no moral or legal right to appear as the General Secretary of the United People’s Freedom Alliance.
