COLOMBO (News 1st) – Addressing an event in Udunuwara UPFA parliamentarian Mahindananda Aluthgamage expressed these views on the upcoming elections.

He noted that a presidential election will be held in this year definitely. He noted that Ranil Wickremesinghe will be the candidate of the UNP without a doubt and the SLFP states President Maithripala Sirisena will contest while they themselves claim Gotabhaya Rajapaksa will contest.

He confidently noted that whatever it is, SLFP, SLPP and all the leftist parties will be on the same side. He added that Mahinda Rajapaksa, Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and President Maithripala Sirisena will join hands and lead the next presidential election. He added that rumours of  SLFP trying to form a national government with Ranil is a hoax.

He noted that a Colombo district parliamentarian will be arrested within the next few days to cover up the bond scam and statements will be recorded from the Prime Minister within the next few weeks. The fear of this has led them to attempt to form a national government with the SLFP. He firmly assured that neither President Maithripala Sirisena nor the SLFP will form a national government with the UNP under any circumstances.
