The Election Manifesto of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna for the upcoming Presidential election will be launched on October 11, SLPP Chairman Professor G.L. Peiris said.

Addressing a press conference in Battaramulla today, Peiris said the public could also present their views to shape the party's election manifesto.

The SLPP Chairman said 29 sub-committees representing various sectors are currently working on the election manifesto which will be the base of the party;s campaign for the next Presidential election.

However, the SLPP is yet to announce the party's Presidential candidate for the next election.

It is widely speculated that Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa will name the party's Presidential candidate at the SLPP national convention next month.
