Sri Lanka, Feb. 2 -- There is no move to field SLPP MP Namal Rajapaksa as the common opposition candidate for the Presidential Election in 2029, an opposition MP said today.

Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Harshana Rajakaruna, who was responding to a question raised by journalists to this effect at a media briefing, said there is no move to field Rajapaksa as the common opposition candidate.

Asked as to why a number of SJB MPs were seen around Rajapaksa at a recent function, MP Rajakaruna said Rajapaksa had not invited any SJB MPs for this function.

"No MP from SJB will join the Rajapaksas," Rajakaruna said.
