Gotabhaya Rajapaksa’s Presidential
Ambition! Despite Competition Among His Brothers For The Sri Lankan
Presidency, Ex-President Mahinda Rajapaksa Wants His Son Namal Rajapaksa To
Become President. Sri
Lanka’s uneasy coalition is expected to hobble along till the presidential
elections next year, but it is not only the government that is in trouble. The
opposition too is in trouble, trying to choose a candidate.
The uncertainty over the contender at the 2019 vote is at the
nub of wrangling between President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister
Ranil Wickremesinghe as they both harbour hopes of contesting.
Within the opposition ranks, the euphoria that followed the
February local council victory has given way to fissures within the newly
formed Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) of former president Mahinda
Rajapaksa.
