UNP to lose elephant symbol?
UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe yesterday hinted the possibility of forming a broad political alliance not only with the SLFP Mahajana Wing but also with other parties as well and contesting future elections under a common symbol while forgoing the Elephant symbol for the first time.
The matter was discussed at the party’s Political Affairs Committee (PAC) meeting held at Mr. Wickremesinghe’s Cambridge Terrace official residence.
Party seniors like Chief Opposition Whip Joseph Michael Perera and General Secretary Tissa Attanayake opposed the idea to change the symbol which the party had used since its inception.
They stood by their opinion that the party should never lose its traditional identity by adopting a different symbol.

Dear Sir,
I and My family like UNP since its inception. It must not ever change its one and ever winning symbol "Elephant" as it has embedded in people's mind. It must take immediate measures to retain its glory, proud and dignity defeating all kind of conspiracies and plots whoever uses against its continued progress.
It must implement long lasting practical steps . Please, Please,Please Thanks, ( From Mr M Saleem,PHD Student,United Kingdom )
