Colombo, October 16 (Daily Mirror) – 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.

“I did not listen to the statement made by President Anura Kumara Dissanayaka claiming that politicians are starting to retire. I do not agree that politicians are now beginning to retire for the first time. There are many politicians who did not contest the Presidential election,” he added.

He also said that the SLPP can easily secure a 113-seat majority in parliament
