Western Province Chief Minister Prasanna Ranatunge has confirmed he would participate at tomorrow's rally in Ratnapura in support of former president Mahinda Rajapaksa contesting the upcoming General Election as the prime ministerial candidate.

Mr. Ranatunge who is currently in Australia had posted in his Facebook account that he was due to arrive in Sri Lanka tonight.

He said that he would accompany more than 40 SLFP Western provincial Councillors and more than 150 Pradeshiya Sabha and Urban Council members to the rally.

“I will participate in this rally according to my conscience. The sole expectation of the SLFPers is Mahinda Rajapaksa. There is uncertainty in the country and in the SLFP without him. We should face that reality,” he said in his Facebook account.
