United National Party

D. S. Senanayake, the founder of the party The United National Party (UNP; , ) is a centre-right political party in Sri Lanka.

Founded in 1946, the party was one of Sri Lanka's two main parties for several decades. The UNP has served as the country's ruling party, or as part of its governing coalition, during the periods 1947–1956, 1965–1970, 1977–1994, 2001–2004, 2015–2019, and 2022–2024. After suffering a major split in the lead-up to the 2020 parliamentary elections, the UNP suffered a major collapse, with the party only winning one national list seat and losing all its votes to the new Samagi Jana Balawegaya alliance. Currently, the UNP is a notable third party in Sri Lankan politics.

The UNP has been led by former President Ranil Wickremesinghe since 1994. The party is a member of the International Democracy Union. Provided by Wikipedia
