A group of UNP MPs were seen at Tourism and Widlife Minister Wasantha Senanayake's Colombo residence, last morning. 

The group of MPs was led by UNP Colombo District Parliamentarian Ravi Karunanayake. 

The MPs had visited Senanayake's house after 118 Paeliamentarians supported a motion claiming former President Mahinda Rajapaksa's appointment as the Prime Minister was unconstitutional and unacceptable. 

Their aim was to convince the crossover MP to support Ranil Wickremesinghe again. 

Senanayake switched allegiance earlier this week and pledged support to President Maithripala Sirisena and his new Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa.
