The membership of five Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) members contesting the parliamentary election on the United National Party (UNP) ticket was cancelled by party Chairman and President Maithripala Sirisena today.
SLFP Treasurer S.B. Navinna, Vice Chairman M.K.D.S. Gunawardane, Deputy Secretary Rajitha Senaratne, Arjuna Ranatunga and Hirunika Premachandra were among those whose party membership was cancelled.
Acting against SLFP principles was cited as the reason for the annulment of party membership.
