They are leader Ranil Wickremesinghe, deputy leader Sajith Premadadas, assistant leader Ravi Karunanayake, general secretary Akila Viraj Kariyawasam, chairman Kabir Hashim and treasurer Harsha de Silva.
Palitha Range Bandara says the change in the UNP office-bearers was not one expected by the people, who will soon react to it.
He has told BBC Sinhala Service that the people wanted a factual reorganizing of the party, not an exchange of positions among a clique.
The other new apointments include Navin Dissanayake as the national organizer and Ruwan Wijewardena as the deputy general secretary.
Range Bandara said the party positions have been shared by a certain clique, like handing out the card pack.
The resignation of veteran Joseph Michael Perera from the working committee is just one reaction.
Range Bandara insisted that they would continue their struggle to strengthen the party.
Joseph Michael Perera said he was not in agreement with how certain top positions were allotted.
He said he had not issue with the leader, but that party positions should be filled in agreement of all, and added that he had a question about the party programme.
