The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) is yet to be intimated officially or in writing by incumbent Ranil Wickremesinghe or entrepreneur Dhammika Perera that either will contest for the presidency, said its national organizer Namal Rajapaksa, while stressing that he too, has not done anything of the sort.
He was responding to media queries with regard to the SLPP’s candidate.
The SLPP will name its candidate at the appropriate time, and that candidate is someone who can repay the country’s debts, and does not sell national resources, said Rajapaksa.
Several contenders are at talks with the party with regard to the candidacy, he added.
