The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) has decided to hold its 72nd Anniversary Celebrations in Colombo.
According to political sources, the anniversary celebration is scheduled to be held at a leading hotel located in Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte.
Under the initiative of SLFP General Secretary MP Dayasiri Jayasekara, preparations were earlier made to hold the anniversary in Hettipola, Kurunegala this year.
SLFP Ministers such as Nimal Siripala de Silva and Mahinda Amaraweera have backed the move to hold the anniversary in Hettipola. However, it has been decided to hold the anniversary in Colombo.
It was also reported that there will be a change in the position of General Secretary this year during the 72nd Anniversary of the party and that the position will be given to a person who can unite the government and the SLFP.
