In an interesting turn of events, UNP Deputy Leader Sajith Premadasa's name was not among those who have been expelled from the party for supporting Samagi Jana Balawegaya.

Premadasa is the leader of the SJB and those who have been expelled from the UNP are candidates and suporters of Premadasa's party.

The UNP Working Committee recently expelled 115 members for working with the SJB without supporting the party's election campaign.

The SJB continues to claim that the party was formed with the approval of the UNP Working Committee.
