The leader of the opposition United National Party (UNP) has sought support from the former army general Sarath Fonseka over the forthcoming presidential election.
Ranil Wickremasinghe met with him and asked for the Democratic Party's support for the election, Fonseka told reporters at a press conference on Wednesday.
According to the Colombo Page, Fonseka said his party is yet to make a decision, however unofficial discussions are being held amongst opposition parties.
The DP is considering three options, Fonseka added, "fielding a candidate from the party, supporting a common candidate and supporting the UNP candidate."
