The SLFP MP group which sat in the opposition after voting against Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe at the no-confidence vote was not present at the party May Day rally yesterday. 

Interestingly, they also did not attend the May Day rally organized by the Joint Opposition in Galle, under the auspices of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa. 

Only former Minister S.B. Dissanayake was seen at the SLFP May Day rally in Chenkaladi, for a brief period. 

Earlier, the SLFP said the group had confirmed their participation for the Chekaladi rally.
