Colombo (LNW): The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) has appointed Sarath Ekanayake, who serves as the Party’s Deputy Secretary General, as the acting Secretary General of the SLFP in Dayasiri Jayasekara’s absence.
MP Jayasekara has reportedly left for the United Kingdom to attend the graduation ceremony of his son, and Ekanayake is expected to fill in until his return.
Meanwhile, speculations on the SLFP MP being ousted from the post of Secretary General are completely false, as Ekanayake was appointed as the acting Secretary General by Party Leader Maithripala Sirisena in full consultation with Jayasekara, Party sources said.
