Presidential candidate Mr. Sajith Premadasa was notably absent from the highly anticipated 360 Live program on the Derana TV channel, which was scheduled to air today (September 17). According to Derana, Premadasa had confirmed his participation several days prior but informed the channel this morning that he would not be able to attend.
In response, Derana swiftly replaced the program with a hastily organized “Wadapitiya” segment to fill the slot. The absence of Premadasa, a prominent political figure, has raised eyebrows given his initial commitment to appear.
Derana also announced that tomorrow’s (September 18) 360 program will feature President Ranil Wickramasinghe, who has already confirmed his participation. This broadcast is expected to garner significant attention as Wickramasinghe addresses pressing national issues in the lead-up to the presidential election.
