The United National Party has lifted the suspension orders against Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa and all party members who joined the Samagi Jana Balawegaya, or SJB.
A senior UNP spokesperson stated that the decision was made on the instructions of UNP leader and former President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
The party views this move as the first step toward uniting the opposition. All members, including those from the opposition, have been invited to the UNP’s annual convention on 6 September to discuss the current political situation.
Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa and former presidents Mahinda Rajapaksa and Maithripala Sirisena have also been invited to the conference.
The move follows a recent visit by Sajith Premadasa and other SJB members to check on Ranil Wickremesinghe’s health while he was in hospital.
