National Peoples Power (NPP) Leader MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake says alleged attempts by President Ranil Wickremesinghe to postpone the Presidential Election will never succeed.
Addressing the Parliament today, MP Dissanayake said that despite various attempts by the President and his team, the Presidential Election will be held in the stipulated period.
“Ranil Wickremesinghe is known to play games and be shrewd. He has been doing this throughout his political career over the last 30 years. However, his political games are only effective within his UNP party and will not succeed outside. His political games within his own party eventually resulted in the UNP being unable to secure seats in Parliament,” the NPP leader said.
However, MP Dissanayake pointed out that former Mahinda Rajapaksa was a mastermind in playing such political games.
“Mahinda Rajapaksa has destroyed several political parties and has also joined hands with several parties. He is also a person who is capable of being friendly with people accused of conspiring to murder him. He is a bigger game master than Ranil Wickremesinghe,” he added.
The NPP Leader said that none of these attempts to postpone the Presidential Elections will prevail.
MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake expressed these views while participating in the debate on the need to hold the Presidential Election underway in Parliament today. (Newswire)
