Colombo (LNW): The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) is preparing to put forward their own candidate for the forthcoming Presidential Election, internal sources disclosed. The move is said to come in just after the calling in of the Presidential Polls, until which time the Ruling Party wishes to continue governing the country under President Wickremesinghe’s leadership, according to sources. The candidate, accordingly, will be contesting the Polls under the Lotus Bud (Pohottuwa) symbol, and the putting forward of one of their own is believed to be a part of SLPP National Organiser Basil Rajapaksa’s political games.
