The UNP has rejected this appointment saying only Parliament can decide who the Leader of the house should be.
The post was held previously by Lakshman Kiriella before the October sacking of Ranil Wickremesinghe and his cabinet by the president.
The Committee on High Posts has approved the nomination of Former Air Force Commander Air Chief Marshal (Retd.)
Former Chairman of SriLankan Airlines, Nishantha Wickramasinghe, arrested on allegation of corruption by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has been remanded until July 1 by the Colombo Magistrate court.
