MR to hold first public rally in Anuradhapura
Former president Mahinda Rajapaksa will hold his first public rally
in the sacred city of Anuradhapura on July 9, Parliamentarian T. B.
Ekananayake said.
This will also be the first public rally attended by Mahinda
Rajapaksa after he secured SLFP nomination to contest the August 17
poll.
"The rally will be an opportunity to find out how the setbacks of a
100-Day Government can be reversed and the country put more on a
developmental agenda once again, " Ekanayake said.
However, it is learnt that former UPFA strongman and the former
Minister of Economic Development, Basil Rajapaksa, will not contest the
forthcoming election but would handle his brother's election campaign. |
