Jaffna, Sep 8 (Daily Mirror) - President Ranil Wickremesinghe met Ilankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK) senior leader MP Mavai Senathirajah at his residence in Kankesanthurai, Jaffna, yesterday. 

During the meeting, Senathirajah reportedly expressed confidence in Wickremesinghe's potential to win the upcoming Presidential election and advance the development of the Northern region.

The meeting occurred after an invitation from the ITAK leader, as Wickremesinghe visited Jaffna to attend a public rally for his "Puluwan Sri Lanka" Presidential campaign. 

Earlier this month, the ITAK had announced its support for Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) candidate Sajith Premadasa. However, Senathirajah said that the party has not made an official decision regarding backing Premadasa at the upcoming election.
