The United Left Front (ULF) which was formed by sections of the Lanka Sama Samaja Party, the Communist Party of Sri Lanka and the Democratic Left Front that supported the Common Candidate, Maitripala Sirisena, at the last Presidential elections has decided to align itself with the section of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party that is opposed to the candidature of Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Dr. Jayampathy Wickramaratne
Accordingly, while maintaining its separate political identity, the United Left Front will contest the forthcoming Parliamentary elections under the umbrella of the United National Front for Good Governance in order to consolidate the victory of 08 January and prevent the re-emergence of the authoritarian regime that the people of Sri Lanka defeated.
Keerthi Kariyawasam, member of the Western Provincial Council, will contest from the Kalutara District while Dr. Jayampathy Wickramaratne and Raja Uswetakeiyawa will be on the national list of the United National Front for Good Governance.

All the fair thinking people are joining on one side and you can guess who is on the other side.

Good. Do whatever you can to defeat Mahinda Rajapaksa and the crooks who are liars, Crooks, Robbers and criminals.
Let’s hope that Baludeva Balukara are all wiped out along with the other cronies of Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Maitripals Sirisena is a spineless, wimp, coward, liar and traitor.

The left must not get isolated and join the mainstream but without compromising your identity. This is good news.

The choice for the people at the next general election is to select the good and the decent under Ranil Wickremasinghe, as against the Corrupt and the murderous under MR. No turning back now! Good Luck Sri Lanka.
