Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa said that he is not ready to retire from politics and that his retirement is temporary.
“I thought about not contesting the general elections, but politicians never truly retire,†he said.
Commenting on the upcoming general elections, the former President said that everything is ready and that the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) will easily secure victory.
