President Maithripala Sirisena has ordered to provide STF security to Minister Mano Ganesan with immediate effect. 

Highly placed SLFP sources said the President ordered STF security for Ganesan to draw his support for the Colombo district election of the SLFP. 

It is learnt that Ganesan was unhappy with the UNP over some disagreement concerning the final nominations list. 

Soon after the President got to know about the disagreement, he had ordered IGP Pujith Jayasundara to provide STF security to the Minister who leads a minor political party. 

Following the development, two other minority party leaders representing the government have also requested STF security, Asian Mirror reliably learns.
