Presidential Senior Adviser Sagala Ratnayake said that no matter what anyone says, the elections will be held on time.
The current President Ranil Wickremesinghe is also running as an independent candidate for the upcoming presidential election and he has the support of the United National Party and he says that negotiations are being conducted to get the support of many other parties and the negotiations are mostly successful.
Mr. Sagala Ratnayake expressed these views while speaking to the media after a program held in Colonna this morning (12).
Mr. Sagala Ratnaka, who said that the United National Party is preparing for the election, but the problem is that the current president will serve the country for another term, said that there are still many works to be done and the work that has been started should be completed.
He emphasized that even though there is a position in the country at the moment, if it stops halfway again, it will not be easy to rise again. Accordingly, he further said that he will play all the trump cards when necessary to win the next presidential election.
Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna Member of Parliament, lawyer Premanath C Dolawatta was also present at this event.
