As the National List MPs of the United National Party and Our People Power Party have not been gazetted yet, the two seats of those parties will be kept vacant at the 1st sitting of 09th Parliament on Thursday, Secretary General of Parliament, Dhammika Dasanayake announced today.
Earlier, the election Commission issued a gazette notification of national list MPs without the UNP and Our Peoples’ Power Party (OPPP) nominees. The two parties have failed to submit the names of their nominees by last week.
