The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) will support the United National Party (UNP), The Hindu reported, quoting its leader R. Sampanthan.

 

“In the process, we also expect resolution to the national question in a manner acceptable to all people,” TNA leader R. Sampanthan told The Hindu.

 

Meanwhile, Sampantha argued that the verdict of people in the Northern and Eastern Provinces had demonstrated “beyond question” that the TNA was “the true representative of Tamils.”

 

The UNP emerged as the single largest party in Monday’s Parliament election in Sri Lanka, winning 106 out of the 225 seats. The TNA won 14 seats.
