The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) has refuted reports linking prominent Sri Lankan businessman Dhammika Perera to the party Presidential candidacy.
Recent reports claimed that the SLPP has decided to name Dhammika Perera as its Presidential Candidate for the Presidential Election expected to be held in 2024, as well as the National Organizer of the SLPP, a role currently held by MP Basil Rajapaksa.
Issuing a statement, the SLPP refuted the reports, clarifying that such decisions have not been taken by the party.
The SLPP further said that the party’s Executive Committee must convene to make such decisions and that the committee has not met since last Saturday (Dec 15). (NewsWire)
