If the government is unable to abolish the executive Presidency, a group of Ministers are requesting that Sajith Premadasa is nominated as the next Prime Minister for the upcoming 2020 Presidential election political sources said.
If a Presidential election is to be held in 2020 Wickramasinghe has already claimed to party seniors that he will contest for the Presidency.
He is said to have stressed this when he met some Ministers yesterday when asked as to who the party will field as its 2020 Presidential candidate.
According to sources several Ministers claiming to support the NCM such as Palitha Range Bandara, Wasantha Senanayajke had been in attendance.
When questioned about this claim however a UNP senior leader said it was a merely April fools joke by the PM.
