As per the present Draconian Constitution, a National List Member of Parliament is a nominated Member of Parliament who is appointed by a political party or an independent group to the Parliament of Sri Lanka. The number of national list MPs allocated to a contesting party or an independent group depends on the proportion to their share of the national vote.
In this scenario, the United National Party (UNP), known as the Grand Old Party of Sri Lanka; that failed to win a single seat at the last General Election, is eligible to appoint a National List Member to the Sri Lankan Parliament. Thus the party is to send their leader to the chat box, that has lost all its powers!
