The Tamil National Alliance (TNA), Sri Lanka’s main Tamil political party, has decided to support the Opposition’s Common Candidate Maithripala Sirisena at the upcoming Presidential Election.
TNA Leader MP R. Sampanthan made the announcement at a press conference held in Colombo today.
The TNA is a Sri Lankan Tamil political alliance in Sri Lanka and rules the country’s Northern Provincial Council. It was formed as an amalgamation of moderate Tamil parties as well as number of former rebel groups.
The TNA’s decision comes just days after two Muslim political parties withdrew from the government and extend support to the opposition.
Last week, former industry and commerce minister Rishad Bathiudeen and his All Ceylon Makkal Congress (ACMC) announced the decision to support Sirisena while on Sunday former Justice Minsiter Rauff hakeem and his Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) defected.
The presidential elections are slated for Jan 8.
