The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) is ready to work with President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, although he did not largely receive the votes of the minority communities.

Parliamentarian M.A. Sumanthiran, the spokesperson of the TNA, stated that their party is willing to work cordially with the incumbent President, in keeping with the people’s mandate.

He made these comments addressing a press conference held in Jaffna.

Sumanthiran also urged all political parties in the country that represent the Tamil community to come under its wing and to stand united to fight for Tamil issues.

“With the parliamentary election to happen soon, it was important to join rather than stay divided,” he told the reporters.
