Tamil Alliance hands in application to register it as a political party in Sri Lanka

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) has handed in an application Wednesday to Sri Lanka's Elections Commissioner to register it as a political party.



TNA parliamentarian Suresh Premachnadran said that the leader of the TNA party has been named as parliamentarian R. Samapanthan and the joint secretaries of the party would be parliamentarians Mavai Senathirajah, Suresh Premachandran and Selvam Adaikalanadan.
Although the party functioned as the TNA the registered political party was known as the Illankai Thamil Arasu Katchchi (ITAK).
