Pohottu discussions over ... in the end President to compete Presidential elections separately

It was officially announced today (5) that a candidate would be brought forward from the SLFP camp for the forthcoming Presidential elections. General secretary of the party Mr. Dayasiri Jayasekera has informed about this to elections commissioner. This was confirmed on an official basis to the media by media spokesman of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, member of parliament, Mr. Weerakumara Dissanayaka  around 9 in the night. Though he had not disclosed as to who the candidate is, what political news say is that it is present
President Mr. Maithripala Sirisena. 

Mr. Mahinda Amaraweera too gave an indirect indication about this change a few days before this. Accordingly, SLFP has changed the motive of giving support to a singular candidate by uniting with Sri Lanka Podu Jana Peramuna; as a consequence an opportunity has dawned where a division of the SLFP is to take place at grass-root level.
