“The former Prime Minister D.S. Senanayake prepared the country for the baby boomers and former President J.R. Jayewardene addressed the Millennials, but now it is the Gen Z era, which belongs to the digital society,” he said, launching the SMART UNP digital drive at the party headquarters, Sirikotha.
He said the objective of this initiative is to transform the party into a digital political party and to attract the younger generation to engage with the UNP, preparing them to be future leaders who can adapt to emerging technological and global challenges.
