The SLPP is shaken by differing opinions with regard to its presidential candidate, reports lankadeepa.lk.
The SLPP will name its presidential candidate once the election is announced officially, said its MPs.
The launch of the SJB-led political alliance will take place on 08 August, said the party’s general secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara.
Twelve district leaders of the SLPP have decided to act against it if the party decides to field a presidential candidate other than incumbent Ranil Wickremesinghe.
With the declaration of the Presidential Election round the corner, several Tamil political parties and representatives from civil organisations have reached an agreement to present a Tamil common candidate for the forthcoming Presidential Election.
The enactment of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution in Parliament is heading to be unrealistic because it is all set to deny two-thirds for the ruling party in case a vote is taken.
