Malik Samarawickrama and senior lawyer Daya Pelpola have also been included in the committee appointed for this task.

Prime Minister Ranil Wicramasinghe has made these appointments following the dissolution of the parliament.

Karu Jayasuriya was in charge of the UNP’s propaganda campaign for the last Uva Provincial Council election which started the slide of the Rajapaksa regime in October last year.

Since Karu Jayasuriya is due to get fully involved in the election campaign, reports reaching us say that he is to be elected to parliament on the national list.
