New Democratic Front Presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa, who previously challenged his opponent Gotabaya Rajapaksa to a one-to-one debate, renewed his call yesterday by challenging the entire Rajapaksa family to debate alone.

• He can bring his brothers including the Leader of Opposition
• He can bring former Speaker and Former Minister Basil Rajapaksa
• Mr Premadasa said he would reveal some secret agendas of some media organisations in the coming days

While stating that his opponent SLPP candidate Gotabaya Rajapaksa had not responded to his challenge to come for a public debate despite a written request made by him Mr Premadasa renewed his call stating that he is willing to debate with whole Rajapaksa family.

“I called Mr Rajapaksa for public debate and repeated several times. I even made a written request. However, I have not got any response from him yet. Therefore, I have decided to repeat the call,” Premadasa said addressing a rally in Galigamuwa.
