Didn't the two meet two day ago to discuss this issue. By the way Sajith have stated publically he is going to run for the president regardless.

Naming a Presidential candidate for the UNF has become more drama than action. It seems Ranil Wickremasinghe wants to contest but he is keeping everyone guessing. He should realise his failures as PM and let a younger more dynamic leader to contest.
