However, Ven. Athuraliye Rathana Thera and Ven.Gnasara Thera were competing for the post.
A spokesman for the party said that Ven. Pahiyangala Ananda Sagara Thera, who has received the highest number of preferential votes, has been nominated for the post of National List MP as a solution to the conflict.
Another suggestion is that it would be appropriate for all three of these monks to represent the same number of years as members of parliament.
Internal sources of 'Ape Jana Bala Party' say that the final decision will be communicated to the Election Commission on Sunday, August 09.
The 'Ape Jana Bala Party', which organized and contested the elections in a short period of two months, managed to get around 67,000 votes from all over the island.
Accordingly, they were deprived of a seat in the National List. This is a significant victory in the face of the party's rejection of nominations for the Colombo, Kalutara, Kurunegala and Moneragala districts.
The party received the highest number of votes from the Gampaha district with 21,000 votes. Out of them Ven. Pahiyangala Ananda Sagara Thero has obtained more than 16,000 preferential votes.
