“Issues on candidacy will be resolved soon” : Sajith Premadasa

(FASTNEWS | COLOMBO) – The proposed National Democratic Front (NDF) will be formed within the next few days while the issues pertaining to its candidate will also be resolved soon, UNP Deputy Leader Sajith Premadasa said yesterday.

Mr. Premadasa who was speaking to the journalists after a meeting of UNF Leaders at Temple Trees last evening said NDF will be formed within the next few days while the candidate will also be known around that time. However, he said he cannot give an exact date on which the alliance will be formed and the candidate would be announced.

Asked whether the UNF leaders expressed their support to him as the presidential candidate, Mr. Premadasa said everyone in the country will support him.

“We have no issues and there are no divisions among the UNP as everyone will get together to form the new alliance and choose the candidate,” he said.

Asked about the disciplinary inquiry which UNP had decided to carry out against two-state Ministers, he said issue is a trivial one and would be settled soon.
