Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa has agreed to handover the chairmanship of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party to his successor President Maithripala Sirisena if the latter agrees to prevent his three sons from being harrassed unneccessarily and to give Namal Rajapaksa nominations under the UPFA ticket at the next General election.

The former President has made this proposal through a senior SLFPer.

It is said that the President has met with Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa at the official residence of the Speaker last night. There, Chamal has reportedly elaborated on the harassements faced by the Rajapaksas.
