SLFP Decision Whether to Stay or Leave the Government Only After LG Election

The memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between the UNP and the SLFP expires on 31 st December 2017. Speculation among the public is that this MOU will be renewed by a year or two. One group of SLFPs wished not to new it.
Joint Opposition MP Dallus Alahaperuma yesterday claimed that former President Chandrika Kumaratunga Bandaranayake has required the SLFP to renew the MOU by further one year period.
Under these circumstances, a group of SLFP members said earlier, a decision will be taken as to whether to continue in partnership with the government or leave the government by the central working committee of the SLFP within a week.
As the local government election intervenes, the decision will be taken only after the LG election, SLFP sources said.
