He points out that approving Sarath Fonseka  as the common candidate at the party’s working committee the UNP has accepted that it cannot win the upcoming presidential election.  Mr. Asad Sally who spoke against this was removed from the acting committee of the party. MP Johnston Fernando says he will also have to face a similar experience in the future.</blockquote>
