Despite much discussion on the Sri Lanka Freedom Party’s (SLFP) stance at the next presidential election, SLFP Spokesperson, United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) MP Weerakumara Dissanayake said the party is to field a candidate at the forthcoming presidential election.
Dissanayake observed that the SLFP General Secretary, MP Dayasiri Jayasekara has informed the Elections Commission of the party decision to field a candidate at the presidential election.
The decision was made amidst negotiations between the SLFP and Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) to form an alliance for upcoming elections.
SLFP MPs have requested President Maithripala Sirisena to contest as the party’s candidate at the next presidential election. Sirisena however has remained silent on the matter.
