President Maithripala Sirisena says that the Sri Lanka Freedom Party must get ready to move forward under one leadership.

The President made this statement in Nuwara Eliya on Sunday June 21.

President Maithripala Sirisena says that at a time when the country has been handed over to him by its people and the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, it is his responsibility to make certain changes and transformations based on the ideas put forward by the people.

Speaking further, President Sirisena questioned, whether this transformation will be allowed to take place or whether will go back to where it was, to separatism and division among one another.

President Sirisena went on to say that those who say that if the Sri Lanka Freedom Party is not divided among one another as yet, lets destroy the UPFA and contest the election separately under a different party, then those persons are traitors to the Sri Lanka Freedom Party.

The President said that he does not have any intentions of taking revenge from anyone.

President Maithripala Sirisena urged the people to rally around him and assist him in the election campaign and establish a government.

President Sirisena added that a country cannot have two leaders, that there can only be one.
