The new political Alliance launched on Saturday is set to attract more cabinet ministers and members of Parliament as they move out to conduct electoral level meetings.
The new group is known as ‘New Alliance’.
The Alliance was launched at a meeting in Ja-Ela and attended by Ministers Susil Premajayantha and Nalin Fernando and Members of Parliament Nimal Lanza and Anura Priyadharshana Yapa.
Mr Yapa said that the front would include more Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) members and they have already expressed their support to join their group.
“We will be having meetings in each of the electorates where more members will be joining in and thereafter hold district level meetings to expand the front,” he said.
He said eventually the front will be supporting an alliance at the Presidential elections, but the future plans would be decided based on the outcome of the discussions and public meetings.
