UNP MP Sajith Premadasa says that he will consider accepting any position within the UNP only if he is elected through an internal party election. Premadasa has also dismissed reports that he has been offered a deputy leader s position by the UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe.

I haven t being offered the deputy leaders position of the party unlike the stories that are doing its rounds, Premadasa said.

Premadasa added that he did not believe positions could be filled by selection and that it should only be filled by an internal election at the party convention. He said that only then will he consider taking a position within the party.

It is unlikely that Sajith will be SELECTED for a senior position for two reasons one - Sajith doesn't appear to be a Gay/Lesbian Club Member, two - his roots lie in Keselwatte and Dematagoda.

However, going by the results of recent elections, where Sri Lankan voters have made a clear statement as to what kind of representatives they prefer to have in the legislative assembly, Sajith has an overwhelming chance of getting ELECTED to the highest office in UNP and later in Sri Lanka
