National Freedom Front (NFF) Leader Wimal Weerawansa has said that the opposition itself is uncertain on their policy of abolishing Executive Presidency.

According to Weerawansa, different parties of the common opposition have expressed different and contradictory opinions on the abolition of Executive Presidency, creating a doubt in the minds of the general public. 

Speaking at an opening ceremony in Nuwara Eliya Minister Wimal Weerawansa has said that while the common candidate Maithripala Sirisena has vowed to abolish Executive Presidency within 100 days after coming to power, General Secretary of the UNP Tissa Attanayake has said that the Executive Presidency should be abolished within 24 hours after the Presidential Elections.

"Why should the voters believe a coalition of this nature?" the Minister questioned, addressing the meeting.

Weerawansa also added that even though the opposition has been able to nominate a common candidate; they have failed to formulate a common ‘policy’.

Wimal Weerewansa was, at one point, a staunch critique of the Executive Presidency and he stated on numerous occasions that the Executive Presidency should be abolished. However, he stated recently that the abolition of Executive Presidency was not the "biggest problem" confronting the country.
