The Illankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK) the main constituent party of Tamil National Alliance (TNA) has decided to support Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Presidential Candidate Sajith Premadasa at the upcoming Presidential Election, ITAK MP M.A. Sumanthiran told the media in Vavuniya today.
The decision was taken following the meeting of the party’s Central Committee convened in Vavuniya today.
The party also decided not to extend support to Tamil Common candidate P. Ariyanenthiran who is also a member of Central Committee of the party and urged him to drop out from the race.
The ITAK decision is a definite advantage for Sajith Premadsa as the ITAK has block vote in the North.Acording to political commentators the ITAK is heavily influenced by India and the pledge to support Sajith Premadasa is a indirect approval of India approval which means much for him.
