UNP Assistant Leader Ravi Karunanayake said his party has not made any final decision on the Presidential candidate.
"We will announce our candidate at the right moment. We don't want to postpone elections. As a party, we want to face the Presidential election as early as possible," Karunanayake added.
The Minister said there was no conflict within the UNP camp on who the Presidential candidate should be.
"We already know who our candidate should be. I state with responsibility that everyone within the UNP is on the same page about this matter."
Karunanayake said reports on internal conflicts within the UNP are fabricated by the media. "The media has fabricated news about me as well. But all such reports turned out to be false," he added.
