The current president is also preparing for the second presidential election

President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has stated that he will contest the next presidential election for the second time.

That statement changed his earlier statement that he would hold the post only once.

President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has stated that his policies will be implemented not only for 3 years but also for another 5 years.

Presidential Spokesman Kingsley Ratnayake said this during a discussion with the owners of media institutions at the Presidential Secretariat.
