The support of Democratic People’s Front (DPF) towards General Sarath Fonseka as a common opposition candidate of the newly created United National Front (UNF) will depend on the response by General Fonseka to a set of questions regarding his stance on a number of national issues.
Democratic People’s Front leader Mano Ganeshan told the Daily Mirror Online that he has submitted a questionnaire to a representative of Fonseka’s, which revolves around four main national issues. Ganeshan explained that he wishes to know the General’s stance of the issue of the IDP situation in the North, his political views on the ‘ethnic question’, his views on abolishing the current presidential system and his plan to tackle bribery and corruption.
Ganeshan added that his party’s initial refusal to support Fonseka as a common candidate for the UNF was due to the fact that Ganeshan and his party had little knowledge of the Generals political experience.
He said, “We are very much with the UNF but we cannot back a horse that we are uncertain of.”
