Polonnaruwa District SLFP MP Roshan Ranasinghe said President Rajapaksa was hoping to appoint former minister Maithripala Sirisena as Prime Minister by next April but he was caught in Ranil’s trap because he did not believe it.

“Government MPs may or may not cross over to the UNP in the next few days. Neither Ranil nor Sajith can become president by competing with Mahinda Rajapaksa. That is why our General Secretary was nominated,” he said.(Nimal Dayaratne)

MS will be the President next January, three months earlier than that trap.

Maithree seems to be most suitable leader then . Rajapakse wants to appoint him as PM , Ranil and Sajith want him to be the president. Truly Common Candidate .

So Maithree can be the president now. You are hired by MR. Your love the party but not the country.

Sirisena is the looser. He will leave the country after the results on 9th. He already asked refugee status in AMERICA.
