Dilan Perera made the particular request at the press conference held at the Sri Lanka Freedom Party(SLFP) headquarters this morning.

Since his name was included in the national list he has participated in press briefings over a month continuously, he said, adding that though the journalists directed questions which made him uncomfortable he believes that all of them will vote for UPFA.

The event saw the participation of SLFP General Secretary Susil Premajayantha and national list candidate Charitha Herath.
