The New Democratic Front (NDF) has informed the Election Commission that Faiszer Mustapha has been nominated to be appointed as a Member of Parliament through its National List, party sources said.
According to the results of the 2024 General Election, the New Democratic Front, which contested under the symbol of the ‘Gas Cylinder’, won three parliamentary seats and two National List seats.
The New Democratic Front was formed by the United National Party (UNP), the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) and the ‘Podujana Eksath Nidahas Peramuna’ to contest the election.
The other National List MP seat had been filled by former minister Ravi Karunanayake of the UNP.
Accordingly, it had been proposed to name one member each from the ‘Podujana Eksath Nidahas Peramuna’ and the United National Party (UNP) for the two National List seats while the final decision on the matter was expected to be taken collectively by all parties in the alliance.
A proposal had also been put forward to nominate former Minister Kanchana Wijesekera, who contested the election from Matara District but was not elected, for the position of National List MP from the ‘Podujana Eksath Nidahas Peramuna’ faction.
