Sajith to implement 2015 mandate on EP

“I will ensure the implementation of the 2015 mandate on the Executive Presidency,” he told the media.

Speaking at a press conference last night following the UNP Parliamentary Group Meeting at the party headquarters, Sirikotha, Premadasa said he did not accept any preconditions nor sign any deals with anybody for the presidential candidature.

Meanwhile, the UNP Working Committee passed a motion when endorsing Premadasa’s candidature that he would take forward the constitutional reform process that was initiated during the term of the present government.

The resolution also said it would proceed with the process of advancing power devolution, evolving electoral reforms and scrapping the executive presidency.

The resolution will be ratified at the party’s convention on October 3.
