There is no doubt, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa will contest at the forthcoming general election, Rajaapksa’s media coordinator Rohan Weliwita has told the BBC.
He has pointed out that the former President will certainly contest at the election regardless of Sri Lanka Freedom Party’s (SLFP) decision to award nomination to Rajapaksha, or not.
“Rajapaksa hopes to contest under the SLFP ticket. If the party refuses to give nomination, the former President will contest under another party,” he said.
