This decision has been reached during the party’s Supreme Council meeting which was held today (04).
Speaking to the media following the discussion, Hakeem stated that the Supreme Council of the SLMC decided to support opposition leader Sajith Premadasa in the upcoming presidential election subject to conditions.
He mentioned that accordingly, the SLMC will hold a discussion with Premadasa in the near future and that they expect to reach agreements on certain matters with him during that discussion.
