peace (Sama Kurulla) and therefore I decided to undertake this mission,” he said.
The President had told him that he was under pressure from certain groups who did not want to work with the UNP.
“I will continue with my effort in bringing the two leaders together and ensure that the President comes forward as the common candidate. I am a friend of both the President and the Prime Minister, and also of the 6.2 million people who voted for a change in January 2015,” the deputy minister said.
He was our candidate and I want to maintain that status,” he said and added that it should be understood.
