UNP DNA vow to join to form government

By Jatila Karavita

Though not in tow at the forthcoming General election, the UNP and the Democratic National Alliance (DNA) have come to an understanding to form a fresh alliance after the general election.
Former JVP MP for the Anuradhapura district K D Lal Kantha says that the DNA led by his party has come to a clear understanding with the UNP-led United National Front (UNF) to form a government after the April 8 parliamentary poll.
“At the moment we are continuing to have a comprehensive dialogue with the UNP-led UNF”, the former JVP MP told ‘LAKBIMAnEWS.
“These discussions have been conducted on an unofficial level, but we are confident of making our consultations official in due course”, he said.
MP Lal Kantha also maintained that the DNA has already held discussions with a number of other political parties which are not keen to join the UPFA ahead of the April 8 election.
Coupled with the support of Tamil and Muslim parties from the North-East the possibility of preventing the UPFA from forming a government after April 9 was a realistic goal, he insisted.
