Mr. Sirisena Cooray named group leader M.S. Rajendran as the respondent of the case.
Mr. Cooray states in his petition that the said independent group that contested the May 20, 2006 Municipal Council election signed an MOU with the United National Party to make way to replace the elected counclors with UNP members.
UNP came to this agreement with the independent group as the UNP nomination list was rejected.
In accordance with the agreement, the UNP provided fullest corporation for the group in the election campaign. But after winning the election, the group did not abide with the pledge to offer seats to UNP violating the MOU.
