Claims he does not aspire to be an MP as they have now been rejected by citizens in SL
Stresses SL must be rescued from clutches of existing political culture

Presidential Candidate Janaka Ratnayake yesterday emphasised the necessity for a systemic change grounded in a paradigm shift to rebuild Sri Lanka.

Speaking to the media, the former Public Utilities Commission (PUCSL) Chairman revealed his current efforts in establishing the foundation to guide Sri Lanka onto a positive trajectory and reconstruct it in the days ahead. “To transform this nation, one must assume the role of the first citizen and revive it. I am presently establishing the groundwork for this transformative effort. It requires a paradigm shift as the current system is flawed,” he said.

“The public is rejecting the 225 MPs in Parliament, and I do not aspire to be one among them. However, we must unite with the people and rescue the country from the clutches of this detrimental political culture. I am actively laying the groundwork for this initiative,” he added.

Ratnayake announced his Presidential bid this week including the launch of his official website.
