The UNP has decided to hand over the government to the new President.

The decision has been taken following a special meeting of UNP Parliamentarians chaired by Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe this afternoon.

However, party presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa was conspicuously absent in this discussion.

In addition to the UNP ministers who resigned yesterday following the defeat of their candidate, Ministers Patali Champika Ranawaka and Ashok Abeysinghe have also tendered their resignations today.

Meanwhile, Omalpe Sobhitha Thera reiterates that the Prime Minister should follow suit his Cabinet ministers and leave room to appoint a new Cabinet.

The Thera was addressing a media briefing held in Embilipitiya today.
