President Sirisena noted that no one can force to conduct the Presidential Election and only he has the power to do so. An order in this regard cannot be given by the Parliament or the Judiciary.He said that the constitution clearly states that if a Presidential Election is held early, a gazette notification in that regard can be issued only by the President.
Therefore, the party re-organization activities are done targeting the Provincial Council election. The main factor of establishing the next government is the strength of the SLFP, the President said."This year will be a year to establish a new government. Party organization should be strengthened for that purpose. The SLFP has not been weakened," he said.
