Daily Mirror once again invites Ranil, Sajith, Namal and Anura for presidential debate

Colombo, August 18 (Daily Mirror)- The Daily Mirror once again calls upon the main presidential candidates Ranil Wickremesinghe, Sajith Premadasa, Namal Rajapaksa and Anura Kumara Dissanayake for a live presidential debate, hosted by the Daily Mirror and Lankadeepa. 

This is the second time that Daily Mirror extends its invitation to the candidates for a debate. 

When it first did two months ago, only Anura Kumara Dissanayake accepted the invitation while Wickremesinghe declined and Sajith did not respond.

"This will not be a platform to cut each other's throat or ridicule anyone but a platform to debate. We hope the candidates accept the challenge," Daily Mirror Editor in Chief Jamila Husain said.  

As such, the Daily Mirror once again calls upon the candidates for a presidential debate just weeks before the public decide on its next President. 

Further information will be notified to our readers as and when the candidates accept our challenge for a debate.
