President Maithripala Sirisena is likely to make another special statement on the election within the next few days, Presidential Secretariat sources said.
Sirisena has expressed serious displeasure for using his image without his knowledge for a United People’s Freedom Alliance election advertisement.
His advisers have told him to make a statement before August 15 since it would be a violation of election laws if he did after the campaign ends.
Therefore, if Sirisena decides to make a statement, it will be done within the next few days, sources also said.
