The Tamil National Alliance has officially announced that all its parties will support NDF candidate Sajith Premadasa at the upcoming Presidential election.

In a statement signed by all three parties in the coalition, the TNA confirmed that Premadasa would be their choice on November 16.

The TNA also added that their decision was based on Premadasa's commitment to ensure democracy, human rights and the rule of law.

However, in the same statement, the party expressed their disappointment with the current government's performance in resolving many issues concerning the Tamils in the North.

The TNA made it clear that they do not want to see the country slide back into an authoritarian rule with dictatorial tendencies.
