The JVP will not field its leader Somawansa Amarasinghe
as the party’s presidential candidate, JVP General Secretary Tilvin
Silva told The Island. He said the JVP continued to look for a
common candidate who was neither JVP nor UNP.
The JVP’s priority, he said, was the abolition of the
executive presidency.
Gen. Sarath Fonseka, he said, would not be the JVP’s
presidential candidate. The General, he said, had not announced his
entry into politics and the JVP would decide on its candidate after the
government declared a presidential election.
