Senior Ilankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK) leader Mavai Senathirajah made it clear that the party has not formally decided to support Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa in the impending presidential election.
Senathirajah underlined that MP M.A. Sumanthiran’s recent declaration of support for Premadasa does not reflect the official stance of the party. Furthermore, he pointed out that important participants in the meeting where the alleged decision was made—MPs Shivagnanam Sritharan and Charles Nirmalanathan, as well as senior members S. Yogeshwaran and G. Srinesan—were not there.
