Former UPFA MP Kumara Welgama said that he was sent a letter informing his removal from the UPFA Executive Committee on allegedly violating the party constitution.

 

Speaking to Asian Mirror, he said that there was no prior warning of his removal and that he was not informed of any charges against him.

 

Furthermore, he added that he was always opposed to the idea of a national government and his position will not be altered.

 

Welgama contested the recently concluded general election from Kalutara District and led the preference votes.

 

Welgama is a staunch ally of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
