CMC: UNP plans stymied The UNP’s plans to take control of the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) have been hampered by the infighting in the UNP-backed independent group. A crisis has arisen in the group with Stanley Jansz who was appointed as the CMC’s Deputy Mayor and later replaced by the independent group leader A.K.M.S. Rajendran, going to courts against his removal. Mr. Rajendran has alleged that the lack of cooperation shown by the Mayor with the group leadership and members can further deepen the crisis within his group. He charged that Colombo district UNP MP Mohamed Maharoof was controlling the newly appointed Mayor. He said this situation would force his party to stop supporting the Mayor in the work of the CMC. Mr. Rajendran said his group was ready to pave the way for UNP members to substitute themselves as soon as the legal hurdles were cleared. Meanwhile, Mr. Sirisena Cooray said the UNP was carefully watching the situation and awaiting a favourable response to substitute its members.
