Ranil asks UNP lawyers to prepare discussion paper on powers and functions of party leader
Ranil Wickramasinghe asks lawyers to revisit the powers and functions of the party leader
Former Prime Minister and UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe told UNP lawyers to look in to the powers and functions of the party leader under the present party constitution and prepare a discussion paper to suggest necessary changes to be done, sources close to Mr, Wickremesinghe said.
This move came amidst concerns by the seniors of the party that powers of the party leader under the Present party constitution are excessive and therefore has to be revised.
Under the provisions of the party constitution, the party leader is appointed for the term of six years and cannot be removed from the post during the tenure. Party seniors have suggested Mr. Wickremesinghe that these provisions in the constitution need to be reviewed.
As a result of these concerns, party leader has asked lawyers to prepare a discussion paper on necessary changes need to be made so this can be discussed and debated by the members of the party and finally adopted at the Working Committee.
