President Maithripala Sirisena had not requested to withdraw the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, the General Secretary of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), Anura Priyadarshana Yapa said today.

Speaking at a news conference, he said the SLFP had no desire to withdraw the motion against the Premier.

Meanwhile, Mr. Yapa said former President Mahinda Rajapaksa lost the presidential election because the government led by him failed to perform political amendments including a new electoral system.

He charged the present government was also playing tricks pretending to like the 20th Amendment to the Constitution.
