Older men are office bearers of UNP youth fronts

Two UNP affiliate youth fronts are reportedly facing dissolution as a result of their having older men as office bearers.

Green Blood and United Youth Voice played key roles for the regime change in 2015.

Coordinator for Green Blood in Seeduwa T.M. Asela, Colombo coordinator Hasitha Gamage as well as secretary Roshan Basnayake and senior member Kavindu Vishwanath of United Youth Voice have recently joined MP Namal Rajapaksa.

The top adviser to Green Blood is minister Sagala Ratnayake, while a majority of its executive committee members are over 35 years of age.

Among them are consultants Lasantha Gunawardena (51), Premadasa Embuldeniya (62) and Buddhika Prasanna (40) and secretary Sujith Prasanna (50).
