A majority of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MPs are of the view that Ranil Wickremesinghe should be the next president, SLPP MP and Minister Kanchana Wijesekera said.
Speaking during a talk show, the Minister stated that the matter has been discussed among various party members.
Stating that it is unsure as to what election will be held next, Minister Wijesekera said that the SLPP will take a suitable decision at the time of an election.
Meanwhile, Cabinet Spokesman Minister Bandula Guanwardena told the media today that no proposal has been made by the SLPP so far about Ranil Wickremesinghe being nominated as the party’s next Presidential candidate.
President Ranil Wickremesinghe through his recent actions has won over the people as the most suitable person to carry out the revival of the country, he said.
He further stated that the priority of the public and the SLPP at present is to revive and develop the nation.
Minister Bandula Gunawardena added, “As we can see the country has currently moved to a stable position.” (NewsWire)
