Former President and Kurunegala District MP Mahinda Rajapaksa will attend the Sri Lanka Freedom Party 64th anniversary celebrations at Polonnaruwa, Rajapaksa's Media Coordinator Rohan Welivita told Asian Mirror.

The anniversary celebrations are held this afternoon at the Rajarata Navodya Grounds in Kaduruwela, Polonnaruwa, under the patronage of SLFP Chairman President Maithripala Sirisena.

Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaranatunga and other senior SLFP members are expected to take part in the event.

Rajapaksa, who is a Senior Adviser of the SLFP, did not take part in the SLFP May Day rally this year.
