MP Ranjith Madduma Bandara's appointment as the General Secretary of the UNP-led alliance will be on hold until the UNP Working Committee ratifies it, a senior Parliamentarian said.

The parliamentary group of the UNF and the party leaders of the alliance have endorsed Madduma Bandara's name as the General Secretary.

However, the appointment will have to be made with the concurrence of the Party Working Committee.

The UNP Working Committee meeting was expected to be held yesterday. However, it has now been postponed until February 10.
