The reasons for the sudden change of SLMC stance is yet to reveal.
SLMC held discussions with all major political parties and by yesterday it was in a decision to contest under government coalition United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA).
However, the SLMC has come to the decision to contest alone at the party Supreme Council meeting held this morning.
A party spokesman said that the decision was to allow more candidates of the party to contest the election.
In another turn of events, government coalition Colombo Municipal Council opposition member Asath Sally who resigned from the seat yesterday to contest the Eastern Provincial Council as an independent candidate has also decided to climb the 'tree'.
