Opposition United National Party (UNP) Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has urged the public to support his party at elections next year to make a change in the country.

Speaking at an event in Hanguranketha the UNP Leader said that the Government of President Mahinda Rajapaksa has done very little over the past nine years to address the issues faced by the people. He says the country is facing a dark era and only a UNP Government can bring a change if it is voted back into power. Presidential elections are expected to take place next year and Wickremesinghe says if the UNP wins that election then it will address the cost of living issue among other things. “Remove the Rajapaksa regime. Help me form a UNP Government,” Wickremesinghe told the public at the meeting. While speaking one person continued to voice his opinion against the Government and Wickremesinghe then warned him that he may get picked up by a white van. “Keep your views in your head or you will get white vanned,” he told the gathering. He said the UNP will go from electorate to electorate and seek public support ahead of the Presidential elections next year. (Colombo Gazette)
