State Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vasantha Senanayake, has officially extended his support to Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna Presidential candidate, Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

Senanayake did so by getting on stage alongside Rajapaksa during the latter’s rally in Manampitiya, Polonnaruwa.

Senanayake was sacked from the United National Party membership last month following a letter sent by him questioning the intentions of the United National Party and its Presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa.

Last year, Senanayake made headlines when he crossed over from one camp to the other on multiple occasions during the attempted Constitutional coup.
