The role played by Ranil Wickremesinghe as the president so far should not be forgotten, said SLPP national organizer Basil Rajapaksa.
Addressing the party’s parliamentary group at the SLPP headquarters, he said some have forgotten the past, where they could not even go to the airport.
The president changed that situation, which should not be forgotten, Basil noted.
He also said the party would choose its presidential candidate under certain criterion.
Meanwhile, Basil Rajapaksa is due to meet the president this afternoon to discuss the upcoming presidential polls and other matters of politics.
The duo met recently, with ex-president Mahinda Rajapaksa too, participating.
