The government affiliated party - Jathika Hela Urumaya, which is concerned over the lack of satisfactory response from the President or SLFP bigwigs with regard to their proposals, have commenced discussions over fielding Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka at the forthcoming Presidential election in order to take forward their party policy stance.

However, the majority of the JHU have agreed to support if Ven. Maduluwawe Sobhitha Thera of UNP leadership council chairman - Karu Jayasuriya enters the fray against President Mahinda Rajapaksa as the 'common candidate'.

It is suggested to field Minister Ranawaka as presidential candidate only if someone other than Ven. Sobhitha Thera or MP Jayasuriya is named as the common candidate.

Meanwhile, speaking to 'Divaina' newspaper, JHU Chairperson Ven. Athuraliye Rathana Thera has said that several significant decisions would be taken after today (12) with regard to the forthcoming Presidential election and other political issues.
