Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa would make an official statement to the public on his stance of contesting at the Parliamentary Elections, his Spokesman Rohan Weliwita said today.

He said Mr. Rajapaksa would declare whether he would contest or not next Wednesday July 1, at 10.00 a.m. at Medamulana.

Mr. Weliwita said his statement would respond to all the various media reports based on several politicians’ statements about Mr. Rajapaksa’s contesting.

“Several gossip websites and newspapers had predicted a lot and had said so many things quoting Mr. Rajapaksa. July 1 will provide response to them,” Mr. Weliwita said.

He did not say if there would be a media briefing or public meeting where Mr. Rajapaksa planned to make his announcement. (Piyumi Fonseka)

    Who cares for you Mahinda. You are a looter who ruined our country. Never think of winning again.

    Moderator Sunday, 28 June 2015 08:19 PM

    You are treating MR in the same way you treated Prabha !Is this fair ? Think moderately.

    Kiris Baba Amaray Monday, 29 June 2015 06:28 AM

    Mama you are cheating the God and the poor masses. As you are a worst sinner always you are seen in the temple.

    Desmond Jeromme Monday, 29 June 2015 06:29 AM

    Do you think, knowing you as a person who robbed our country by all means will be accepted by the masses.

    Horri Jimonis Monday, 29 June 2015 06:30 AM

    Horri Jimonis Monday, 29 June 2015 06:31 AM

    Even if you worship in the temple being upside down, God will not forgive you for all the sins you committed for our nation.

    J Palitha Monday, 29 June 2015 06:32 AM

    With this election you and your entire family will be cursed by the public.

    Horri Jimonis Monday, 29 June 2015 06:34 AM
