President Mahinda Rajapaksa says he will remain president of Sri Lanka after next month's presidential elections, despite being challenged by someone from his own party.
Rajapaksa,addressing a rally in Embilipitiya, said he does not need to sign multiple MoUs with his coalition partners, unlike his challenger Maithripala Sirisena.
He said his government is united behind one cause and it is thus unnecessary to sign separate agreements with his constituent parties.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
