Namal Rajapakse To Be Named SLPP Presidential Candidate

News Today: Namal Rajapakse to contest as Presidential Candidate

SLPP founder Basil Rajapakse told Legacy Daily a short while ago that his nephew Namal Rajapakse will be officially named Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna’s (SLPP) Presidential Candidate. Basil Rajapakse declined to comment on Dhammika Perera initially being named the official candidate, but sources claimed that Mr. Perera has pulled out of the race. This development marks a significant shift in the political landscape as Namal Rajapakse steps into the forefront of Sri Lankan politics, representing SLPP.
