United National Party (UNP) Media Spokesperson Akila Viraj Kariyawasam on Tuesday (09) said that UNP will win the forthcoming general election without any difficulty as it will attract a majority of Sinhala Buddhist votes in the country.

Addressing a press briefing held in Sirikotha, he stated that UNP was not afraid to face challenges.

UNP had many problems over its history and the party was able to overcome every hurdle, he stressed. Therefore the UNP has no reason to worry about the general election, he said. It can be assured that UNP can gain the majority of the parliament, Kariyawasam added.
