Former Ministers Athauda Seneviratne and W.B. Ekanayake today extended support to UNP Presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa.

At a press conference held in Colombo, both former Ministers, stalwarts of the UPFA, confirmed their support to the UNP's candidate.

Their decision follows the crossovers of Neomal Perera and S.B. Nawinna.

Both former MPs represent the Kegalle district, a stronghold of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
