Colombo, Dec 20 (Daily Mirror) - The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) is deliberating tycoon Dhammika Perera as one of its four potential candidates for the upcoming Presidential Election, said SLPP General Secretary Sagara Kariyawasam.
He told the media today that the party has not yet finalized its decision on the Presidential candidate.
However, he disclosed that Dhammika Perera is presently under consideration among the list of potential candidates.

Name the four potential candidates to recommence destruction and safe guard the Rajapaksas.

Hey my vote is turning now to SLPP. We need young Sinhala Buddhist leaders who are rich. When you compete in business you do profit oriented deals ,that is accepted .If Namal/Basil come, SLPP will be zero.
Tak Tik Tuk Wednesday, 20 December 2023 06:18 PM
Dammika will only be a puppet who is remote controlled by non other than the bird family, Kaputa, Myna and Podi Myna
Gihan Wednesday, 20 December 2023 07:54 PM
A master racist view it seems. It does not seem to matter if they are casino mudalali's who find it difficult to pay their taxes when due and have no care of the vices that grow around it to make a quick buck, whose companies are ok to import garbage into the country from other countries in container loads again so long as they can make a buck.
UK man Wednesday, 20 December 2023 08:03 PM
Before you take a side think about, Casino tax avasion, Hospital waste from UK, Rathupaswala Water Contamination ....The list goes on.
Voter Wednesday, 20 December 2023 03:12 PM
Actually who ever you choose ,you are a dead duck.So don't waste time with your fairy tales or tail wagging.

He must be doing a collective political suicide if he is going to go with SLPP. If he goes with SLPP; Ranil will be happy. The more divided the more chance for Ranil .
Chryshan Wednesday, 20 December 2023 03:26 PM
Oh Casino Dammika who owned Rathupaswela factory that lead to killing all demonstrators is the ideal candidate for SLPP since all are in same boat. Heartless idiot.
Jail these criminals Wednesday, 20 December 2023 03:28 PM
This tax dodger completes the criminal circle. Let's defeat these scum bags and send them to jail before they make the nation unlivable.
pohotu horu Wednesday, 20 December 2023 03:31 PM
Has Dhammika paid all the tax he defrauded ? Or is it a requirement of the SLPP that a candidate must have engaged in criminal activity?
Hora Mina's club of thieves. Wednesday, 20 December 2023 03:34 PM
So the SLPP is continuing with the pillaging of the nation? Let's kick all these selfserving lowlifes out.
Sagara Wednesday, 20 December 2023 03:52 PM
Myna and Kaputa are out. What about Podi Myna?
Tilak Wednesday, 20 December 2023 04:02 PM
who are the other 3
Johan Wednesday, 20 December 2023 04:15 PM
There are no potential candidates in SLPP most of them are crooks and fraudsters
Pusa Wednesday, 20 December 2023 04:26 PM
Good old play: When Ranil knew he couldn’t win, he got Fonseka to run. Now that the SLPeePee knows they can’t win with a Rajapuksa, they are going with Dammika Perera (Ranil is teaching the new team well). My advice to Dammika Perera: bro if you loose the election, you will loose everything you have ! Just look at Fonseka
Dungoda Balapala Wednesday, 20 December 2023 04:35 PM
We support Rata Kaapu Myna!
Jagath Ekanaya Wednesday, 20 December 2023 04:58 PM
How about Harak Kata? Will fit in with the rest of the lowlifes nicely.
Priyal Wednesday, 20 December 2023 05:34 PM
The SLPP cannot come up with someone better than a casino mudalali's who was so reluctant to pay the taxes due to the state? Jadiyata Mudiya!
Volker Metzger Wednesday, 20 December 2023 05:35 PM
The SLPP will not have the slightest chance in the presidential elections with either a tycoon or any other candidate!!! Whoever will be named as candidates will be servants of the incompetent, unscrupulous Rajapaksas!!! After the experiences of the Rajapaksa era, the people of Sri Lanka have been virtually traumatized, but spiritually and politically awakened!!! They will give the SLPP, but also the dark men of the leadership of this party, a lesson that they will not forget for years!!! The Rajapaksa clan's lust for power, unscrupulousness, corruption, human rights violations and economic failure have plunged the majority of people into poverty and misery and are now being acknowledged in the elections!!! The SLPP and the Rajapaksas are getting what they have long deserved, the loss of all political power and the descent into insignificance!!!
ADVISOR Wednesday, 20 December 2023 06:35 PM
THIS YOUNG BUSINESS TYCOON WILL BE SIGNING WOULD BE RAVING MAD IF HE ACCEPTS THE POSSIBLE POSITION AS A CANDIDATE. A) POSSIBILITIES OF CONFLICT OF INTERESTS TO SAY THE LEAST. STICK TO RUNNING YOUR EMPIRE.

Rubbish! They will all support Ranil, but Anura will win!
Sole winner for UNP Wednesday, 20 December 2023 08:35 PM
SLPP is very sure of winning with any of the four candidates, they may even nominate all four potential candidates so as to split votes of other candidates. Look what happened to Ranil in parliament election.
Citizen Wednesday, 20 December 2023 08:53 PM
Normal political thinking. An experienced person from the party who has the support may be from the forces, interior and extreme interior area voters.
Ama Wednesday, 20 December 2023 08:54 PM
It will enable DP to more of HIS business and it aviode paying TAX. MR is doing this NOT in good faith.
melville perera Wednesday, 20 December 2023 10:48 PM
Obviously it is hard for him when he himself publicly announced at the recent convention that 1/3 rd of the citizens are hipocrites Taken from voters count then 6.9 lakhs amounts to about 1/3 rd of the total population sitting in parliament and aptly described
Mahesh Wednesday, 20 December 2023 11:06 PM
More money in treasury now and worth contesting
Patcitz Wednesday, 20 December 2023 11:22 PM
His Excellency Rajapaksa should not think of fielding Dhammika Perera as a potential Presidential candidate, who might spoil the soup, bringing much more damage to the people's party SLPP.
Pantha Kumaran Thursday, 21 December 2023 12:04 AM
If the Rajapakses think they are the one who will make Sri Lanka miracle of Asia why not they make Namal boy???????? as the potential candidate for the next Presidential election
Tharumi k Thursday, 21 December 2023 12:52 AM
Another crook who made sure he had monopoly in titles market by buying both titles companies. Then worked with the government to make sure the import of tiles was banned.
Jason Thursday, 21 December 2023 02:06 AM
Rajapaksas know that most people are poor and freebies can sway their vote. Promises of freebies coming from a wealthy businessman is more believable than from politicians. But people won't fall for it this time. Dhammika should avoid politics. It is too dirty.
Ram Thursday, 21 December 2023 02:40 AM
MR is playing the same old game. Firstly it must be a person who will protect them or at least MR during his life time. What happens after his demise he will not be bothered as he cannot fix damage done for ever. Then the candidate too must be questionable person. That way MR will have a hold. DP is a Tax dogger. Smooth sailing for them folks
Nimal Thursday, 21 December 2023 05:30 AM
The current line up of potential candidates will ensure Sri Lanka's destruction.
Independent Voter Thursday, 21 December 2023 06:08 AM
Dammika - You should be the front runner for Presidential race by miles however am sure you being a smart fella got the plan in place to counteract SLPP plan (BR MR NR SR and family excluding GR) behind the curtain to clip your wings should get elected. Above goons will not allow you to work and they will pull from your leg.
Wimal Wijeratne Thursday, 21 December 2023 06:23 AM
Hospital garbage imported to the nation.No need to import immuno globulin
Sambo Thursday, 21 December 2023 08:01 AM
Another one bites the dust. Have you made arrangements that he will save your assets.
Sagala Thursday, 21 December 2023 05:03 PM
Dhammika if he is selected to contest on the SLPP Ticket, he will end up as loser not only of the Presidency but also of a greater part of his Financial Empire.
Buddhist Thursday, 21 December 2023 07:30 PM
Dammika is Rajapaksas black money handler.
Anthony. R Thursday, 21 December 2023 07:33 PM
Birds of a feather flock together, the crooks, fraudsters, rouges,murderers all the culprits trying to rule the Nation. What a joke !!!!!
