The Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) has decided to offer its conditional support to Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa in the 2024 Presidential Election, SLMC leader MP Rauff Hakeem said.

This decision has been reached during the party’s Supreme Council meeting which was held today (04).

Speaking to the media following the discussion, Hakeem stated that the Supreme Council of the SLMC decided to support opposition leader Sajith Premadasa in the upcoming presidential election subject to conditions.

He mentioned that accordingly, the SLMC will hold a discussion with Premadasa in the near future and that they expect to reach agreements on certain matters with him during that discussion. 

However, MP Hakeem claimed that the SLMC is not inclined towards any other political party, and that they do not expect any ministerial or other positions by supporting the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) during the forthcoming presidential election.
