SLFP General Secretary Prof. Rohana Lakshman says the party has launched short term and long term plans to field President Maithripala Sirisena as the common candidate at the next Presidential election to avoid a tripartite battle.
He says if such a battle occurred it will allow a dictatorship to come into power which will negatively affect the peace and democracy in the country.
He also revealed that if the President decides to contest as the common candidate a large number of UNP and JO stalwarts are willing to throw their weight behind him as well.
