Speaking to BBC Sandeshaya, he has said that dozens of micro organisations have been established throughout the country against the President.

Even if the President wins by a close margin, there is a high possibility of another government being established. That victory would weaken the President's hands rather than strengthening them. I think its best for the President himself, the government and the country if the President loses at the Presidential election.'

'Broken egg'

Speaking further, Victor Ivan has said that Ven. Athuraliye Rathana Thera has taken a brave approach.

'The Thero broke the egg. Now it is upto the opposition parties to make an omelette before the broken egg goes bad,' he has said.
