Arjuna Ranatunga steps down as UNP Gampaha District leader

Former Minister and former Parliamentarian Arjuna Ranatunga has stepped down as the United National Party (UNP) Gampaha District leader.

 

Ranatunga has sent his resignation letter to UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe.

 

In the letter Ranatunga says he has decided to step down as Gampaha District Leader as the party’s new Deputy Leader Ruwan Wijewardene works under him in the district and that does not seem appropriate.

 

Ranatunga had recently said he was prepared to accept the UNP leadership post.
