Possibility of Tissa Joining Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna Exists

Former UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake  left the UNP in December 2014 and offered his support to the then President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Attanayake is standing trial for allegedly forging the signatures of Maithripala Sirisena and Ranil Wickremesinghe in allegedly forging an agreement between the two he displayed to the media during the presidential election campaign.

Followed by the election, case was  filed against him and he was taken into police custody and produced in the court. The court remanded him . He is now in bail.

Reports received revealed  that  he  is likely to join the Sri Lanka Podujana Party formed by supporters of the Joint Opposition. However, Attanayake has not made a comment on this.

Although he once made an unsuccessful attempt to form a political party, Attanayake remains close to the Joint Opposition.
