MP Dilan Perera said that if the former President Mahinda Rajapaksa can contest at the upcoming Presidential Election, he will support him without an argument.

He stated this addressing a press conference held in Colombo today (16).

At the meeting, a journalist raised the question whether MP Perera would support the former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga is she contests the Presidential election.
