The United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) is to nominate Piyasena Gamage to the parliamentary seat left vacant by Geetha Kumarasinghe.

The Supreme Court on November 2, upheld the Appeals Court decision of May 3, that disqualified Kumarasinghe from holding post in Parliament.

Kumarasinghe is denied opportunity to be a member of parliament on account of the dual citizenship she holds with Switzerland.

Kumarasinghe has alleged that Gamage was the mastermind of her removal from her parliamentary position.
