SLPP can face polls alone ; MP Soyza confronts Dayasiri's remarks on coalition

News

The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) has the capability of facing any election alone, parliamentarian Rajith de Soyza said yesterday (Mar 17).

He made this remark in response to a statement made by Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) MP Dayasiri Jayasekara on Saturday.

MP Jayasekara had claimed that the presidential candidate of the SLPP would fall short of 2.5 - 3 million votes alone if the SLFP does not form a coalition before the polls.

While disputing this statement, MP de Soyza remarked that the SLPP's presidential candidate would be announced within two weeks.
