Sri Lanka's leftist party JVP or the People's Liberation Front on Monday urged President Mahinda Rajapakse to reveal whether there would be an election in the near future. JVP Parliamentary Group Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake told reporters that if Rajapakse wants to hold an election, he should tell the country whether it would be the presidential election or parliamentary election. Much awaited convention of the ruling Sri Lanka Freedom Party ended on Sunday without any decision of future elections. Dissanayake said the JVP would hold talks with the main opposition United National Party (UNP) and other political parties on supporting the common candidate at a future presidential election. He said the JVP is not going for an alliance with the UNP but it was only supporting the common candidate, abolition of the executive presidency, establishment of the constitutional council, resettlement of the war displaced civilians, among others. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka's Chief of Defense Staff General Sarath Fonseka resigned his office on Monday. Analysts say most likely he would contest as the common opposition candidate in a future presidential election. According to Sri Lanka's elections calendar the next parliamentary election would be held before April. Rajapakse's tenure will end in 2011 and the government may hold an early presidential election to capitalize on its victory against Tamil Tiger rebels in May.
