The United National Party will field their very own candidate at the upcoming presidential election, parliamentarian Hesha Withanage said at a meeting in Godakawela.
Sharing his sentiments again on Facebook, the vociferous back bencher reiterated that the UNP will not be fielding anyone outside the party and that they will only consider an original UNPer to be its candidate. He further stated that they don't need to import a leader and stressed that they will not give presidential candidacy to a 'merchant' like Dhammika Perera.
Meanwhile, Minister of Public Administration and Disaster Management, Ranjith Madduma Bandara, at a press briefing in Moneragala yesterday, emphasised that on behalf of all party loyalists, they will only field a candidate from the UNP at the upcoming presidential polls.
