Meanwhile, the Maithri faction spokesman Duminda Disanayaka said that the discussions were successful and the discussion was not between two factions but between the Chairman and Adviser.
The demands of the former President were not fully addressed by the President. Instead, he said that naming Mahinda as the Prime Minister at the general election may cause loss of minority votes.
He has also declined a demand from the Mahinda faction regarding Financial Crimes Investigation Division. Rajapaksha family and former Ministers are dreaded by this police unit and want it to be dissolved arguing it has been politicized.
The President has said that anyone who thinks of injustice had taken place could seek the justice from judiciary.
Sources close to Maithri faction of Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) said that rebel MPs and corrupt elements of Mahinda faction might not get nomination from the party.
