Mr.
Upul Shantha Sannasgala, the UNP nomine for the
Chief Minister post of the Sabaragamuwa Provincial Council
says that he will not contest to this election.
However,
he said in a press briefing held in Colombo today (23)
that he will not reject the decision to appoint him as
the Chief Minister nominee.
The

appoint Mr. Sannasgala as the Chief Minister. Later, the
nomination committee too approved it.

Mr. Sannasgala and President Mahinda Rajapakse are past
students of Thurstain College.
