Sri Lanka, Sept. 2 -- Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe and the United National Party (UNP) can join the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) and work as one of its allies, an SJB MP said today.

SJB MP Nalin Bandara Jayamaha told a media briefing that the UNP can become an ally of the main Opposition party rather than SJBers obtaining UNP membership.

Asked about the invitation extended by the former President to participate in the UNP convention, the MP said he is not aware of anyone in the SJB receiving such an invitation.
