The main opposition United National Party (UNP) will seek the opinions and views of the public on the draft constitution being prepared by the party.

UNP Parliamentarian Wijeyadasa Rajapakse said the draft constitution would be made public on 29 May.

He said the UNP would also have a discussion with party leaders in the Parliament regarding the draft.

He explained that the UNP’s draft constitution would limit the powers of the executive presidency and the president would also be liable and responsible when making decisions.

The draft constitution also proposes that a person would have to end his/her political career and be independent once elected as the president and would not be able to hold any Cabinet portfolios.

According to Rajapakse, the draft constitution would be finalised after discussing with party leaders and the public.
