Mahinda is certain to contest – SLFP general secretary Featured

Former president Mahinda Rajapaksa is certain to contest the upcoming general election on the UPFA ticket, says the SLFP, and rejects media reports that his candidature is surrounded by problems.

At a media briefing at the SLFP headquarters today (08), general secretary of the party Anura Priyadarshana Yapa said president Maithripala Sirisena has not laid down any conditions to give nominations to Rajapaksa.

Meanwhile, ex-president Chandrika Kumaratunga and ministers Rajitha Senaratne and Arjuna Ranatunga were due to meet the president this evening.

They were to ask the president not to give nominations to 10 former UPFA MPs who are accused of corruption, BBC Sandeshaya reports.
