The President in turn had told Weerawansa \u201clet bygones be bygones\u201d. Weerawansa, a key speaker of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa\u2019s campaign in January, was known as the harshest critique of Maithripala Sirisena, who was then the Common Candidate of the opposition.<\/p>\n

The NFF leader called on President Sirisena at the latter\u2019s official residence yesterday morning to discuss the future of the UPFA coalition.<\/p>\n

Weerawansa arrived at the President\u2019s official residence at about 8.45 am along with UPFA members Dinesh Gunewardene and Vasudeva Nanayakkara.<\/p>\n

The meeting took place amidst speculations that the President was considering a dissolution of the UPFA coalition.<\/p>\n

At the meeting, Weerawansa had urged the President to refrain from making any such move.<\/p>\n

The President in reply to Weerawansa had said that he doesn\u2019t engage in vituperative politics.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media after the meeting Weerawansa had told the media that President Sirisena had agreed to allow the opposition to propose a candidate for the Opposition Leader,<\/p>\n

On the concept of a national government Weerawansa had added \u201cWe were of the view that a National Government should not be formed as it would be disadvantageous for the UPFA at the forthcoming local polls.<\/p>\n

The SLFP Central Committee earlier gave consent to the President to make the final decision on appointing the Opposition Leader.<\/p>\n
