Opposition Parliamentarians Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka and Patali Champika Ranawaka have refuted reports claiming they are set to join the government.
Taking to ‘X’, MP Sarath Fonseka said reports on local media are inaccurate and that he will not be joining the government.
MP Fonseka also shot down reports of him supporting the presidential candidacy of President Ranil Wickremesinghe, stating that it is completely untrue and baseless.
