Former president Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumarathunga yesterday reportedly told the SLFP seniors that under no circumstances would former president Mahinda Rajapaksa be made opposition leader.

She said a decision had already been taken by President Maithripala Sirisena and herself to appoint a young popular parliamentarian as Opposition Leader.
She also asked party seniors to not allow the defeated leader to destroy the party. (Anjula Mahika Weeraratne)
