Plans are underway to get political prisoner Sarath Fonseka to join the UNP, unconfirmed reports said.
Sources also said that Fonseka’s wife, Anoma Fonseka has also agreed to join the UNP if she would be named as the party’s mayoral candidate.
It is learnt that a UNP parliamentarian who had visited Fonseka in prison had received a favorable response on the matter.
A senior party member had meanwhile proposed to the party leadership that Fonseka should also be appointed as a deputy leader of the party.
