The UNP-led alliance would not make the same mistakes it made during the last presidential election but would field a winning candidate this year, Minister Rajitha Senaratne said on Saturday.

Dr Senaratne addressing a public meeting in Kuliyapitiya said the candidate would be fielded from a rainbow alliance which would be led by the UNP.

“We wish for a rainbow alliance and filed a winning horse as our candidate for the presidential elections. He will be made known at the right time. However, we will not make the same mistakes which we made during the last presidential election by fielding President Maithripala Sirisena,” he said. (Yohan Perera)

The rainbow alliance is covered by a gloomy cloud with no public backing.

When corrupted person in the opposition party candidate, it is easy to win When a clean hands person contests, he/she can win easily. But people can't justify whether the person is corrupted or innocent

Ranil should step down, his image is Tarnished with lot of MUD SLINGING over past 25 yrs, and some of it is stuck on him. Man is always meeting the public with hands in his trouser pockets, playing POCKET BILLIARDS in public does not present a good image. UNP need a NEW IMAGE now.
