Here is why -
Several media reports had mentioned that the PM Mahinda Rajapaksa's youngest son - Rohitha Rajapaksa (Chichi) is to be fielded as the Chief Ministerial candidate for the Wayamba Province under the ticket of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP). In response to those reports, Rohitha Rajapaksa mentioned on 5th October that he has no intention of entering politics, and he is presently involved in public campaigns, especially in the Kurunegala District only to fulfill the pledges made by his father to the people there during the General Election campaigns held last year: https://www.dailymirror.lk/front_page/I-have-no-intention-of-engaging-in-politics-Rohitha/238-221870.
