Several former MPs supporting former president Mahinda Rajapaksa are due to meet the Elections Commissioner Mahinda Deshapriya this afternoon.

 

A former MP told Asian Mirror that several leaders including Dinesh Gunawardena, Wimal Weerawansa, Dullas Alahapperuma are expected to meet with Deshapriya. The discussion is to be focused on several issues, the MP said further.

 

This development takes place as the Rajapaksa faction is considering its options with regards to the general election. Discussions on giving nomination to former president Rajapaksa ended last night inconclusively.

 

Meanwhile, Rajapaksa is scheduled to make a special announcement at 10.30am tomorrow.
