SLFP Seniors Meet President To Discuss Drastic Party Reforms

A group of SLFP seniors met President Maithripala Sirisena at his Paget road residence last night. 

Ministers Mahinda Amaraweera, Duminda Dissanayake, S.B. Dissanayake, Anura Priyadarshana Yapa and Susil Premajayantha were among the MPs who met the President. 

Speaking to Asian Mirror, an MP who was a member of the delegation said the discussion was mainly based on party reforms. 

The SLFP has embarked on drastic internal reforms while the pro-Rajapaksa has launched a campaign calling for Local Government elections. 

Party sources also said the SLFP seniors were to discuss lack of discipline among grassroots level representatives of the party. 

Several senior Parliamentarians of the party holding positions under the national unity government were booed during recent meetings of the party.
