Western Province Chief Minister Prasanna Ranatunge has confirmed he would participate at tomorrow's rally in Ratnapura in support of former president Mahinda Rajapaksa contesting the upcoming General Election as the prime ministerial candidate.

Mr. Ranatunge who is currently in Australia had posted in his Facebook account that he was due to arrive in Sri Lanka tonight.

He said that he would accompany more than 40 SLFP Western provincial Councillors and more than 150 Pradeshiya Sabha and Urban Council members to the rally.

“I will participate in this rally according to my conscience. The sole expectation of the SLFPers is Mahinda Rajapaksa. There is uncertainty in the country and in the SLFP without him. We should face that reality,” he said in his Facebook account.

Now that Sri Lanka is no longer playing in the World Cup, he has decided to return home to support his old boss.

So why all these meetings around the country. They also say that people do not vote for the party but for Mahinda. So make it simple. Create a party and promote it. No need of meetings to say he should be the prime ministerial candidate. Just create a party, make him leader, come forward, and see what the educated and knowledgeable SL public think of Mr. Mahinda.

This man is a great challenge to the leadership of the SLFP as a black sheep and participated in the one out of two previous meetings. Now challenging to do the other one .We wanna ask what the secretary is going to do on this ?
