Colombo, August 07 (Daily Mirror) -  In a discussion with heads and representatives of media institutions, President Ranil Wickremesinghe said he has no competition as his focus is on advancing the country.

“I have proved my capability twice," he emphasized.

The President made these remarks during a discussion with heads and representatives of media institutions a short while ago. 

He also said, “We cannot change any of the benchmarks of the agreements made with the IMF or creditors, if we do Sri Lanka could lose the funding. Hence, all candidates must be truthful to the voters.”

Responding to a question whether if elected he will form a national government or not, the President said he would invite everyone to work with him.
