Addressing the media personnel further, MP Noharathalingam stated;Political and economic stability is crucial for the country. President Ranil Wickremesinghe successfully guided us through an economic crisis, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has emphasized the need to maintain this hard-won stability. To sustain the progress made, it is essential for the current president to serve at least one more term.
We have completed half of this marathon; changing leadership now would mean starting over. If President Wickremesinghe is given another opportunity, he can effectively carry us the rest of the way.
