Cash-strapped airline Mihin Lanka’s former CEO Sajin Vaas Gunawardane was appointed as the UPFA’s Galle district organizer by President Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday. Mr. Gunawardane is also a Presidential Advisor.
The President recently gave a number of electoral organizer appointments, mostly to UNP MPs who switched allegiance to the Government. Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama was appointed as the organizer for the Kotte electorate.
Meanwhile, Non-Cabinet Nation Building Minister Susantha Punchinilame is slated to be appointed as the organizer of the Seruwila electorate in the Trincomalee district.

Ex Mihin Lanka boss Sajin Vass Gunawardane is tipped to be the next Chief Ministerial candidate of the UPFA for the Southern Province. The Southern Provincial council is to be dissolved soon, political sources said. President Mahinda Rajapaksa and few senior ministers have held a meeting last week. At the meeting a minister had suggested to the President to appoint new faces to the Southern Province and mooted Gunawardane's name as the Chief Ministerial candidate as he has roots in the province.
