Leader of the National People's Power (NPP) Anura Kumara Dissanayake says he would not allow a postponement of elections.
Addressing the party’s women’s conference in Vavuniya, he said the presidential polls should take place as scheduled.
UNP general secretary Palitha Range Bandara has said the terms of president Ranil Wickremesinghe and the present parliament should be extended by five years without holding any elections.
Also, Wajira Abeywardena wants Wickremesinghe to remain the president for 12 years.
One thing is clear, that they admit Wickremesinghe cannot win an election, Dissanayake noted.
He added that politics of deception that is the cause for the fate the country has fallen to should be stopped forthwith.
