The Opposition will provide its support for the government’s proposal to hold the Presidential elections prior to the specified time frame, Opposition and Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) leader MP Sajith Premadasa stated.
MP Premadasa said, however, attempts by the government to hold the Presidential elections at their own convenience and according to their convenient timeframes is a violation of democracy.
He further pointed out that it was wrong to plan the Presidential elections based on the directives of the President or those supporting him.
MP Sajith Premadasa assured that the Opposition will extend its support to bring in the necessary regulations to hold the Presidential elections soon.
He made the remarks following a discussion with the SJB Executive Committee held today (15). (NewsWire)
