JHU Chairman and head of the National Council for a Clean Tomorrow (NCCT) Ven. Athuraliye Rathana Thera today said they were ready to contest the parliamentary election as the third political force and create the country’s next prime minister.

Addressing a news conference organised by the NCCT in Colombo, the Thera said they have come up with a set of proposals to follow at the upcoming election to create a new and a better political culture.

“Our proposals are still open for discussion and we will present them to President Maithripala Sirisena and consult him first. If he is ready to lead the coalition which contributed for his victory in a broader manner, we will join him. Otherwise, we will come forward as a third force and decide who the Prime Minister should be,” he said. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

    Just try your best to rally the January 8th forces under a common symbol. Allowing the desperate SLFPs cross-over to UNP would not bare desired results. The vote base of Medamulana must be challenged as an independent force with the assistance of SLFP stalwarts, if possible, including the President. Make the MR comeback as the robbers incarnation which needs to fight tooth-and-nail preventing the same. We will be with you

    UPFA is going to suffer its biggest defeat in history, all because of joining with MR.

    Damien Tuesday, 07 July 2015 12:16 AM

    The UPFA headed by MR is very likely to win more than 113 seats in parliament so these people getting together will be futile as the majority of the country have decided MR is the right leadership

    Alibaba and the forty thieves trying to get back on their feet. What political hypocrisy. Please get rid of all the crooks once and for all.

    If Mr. Maithripala has any self-respect he should resign immediately after the election.

    Voter Tuesday, 07 July 2015 01:17 PM

    UPFA will increase their majority this time.

    Waco Tuesday, 07 July 2015 01:37 PM

    Going by the past six months record, what good things can we expect from Mr.Maithripala Sirisena. He may be having some more secrey agreements with North and East.
