Colombo, Oct 27 (Daily Mirror) - Results of the Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha elections show that the National People's Power (NPP) vote base is on the decline, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara said today.

Madduma Bandara told a media breifing that the Elpitiya PS election results has indicated that the NPP vote base has declined to less than 42 percent.

"The usual case in Sri Lankan politics has been that the party which is victorious at a Presidential election wins any elections held there after. However, this has not been the case this time as the NPP has obtained only 17,000 votes while others have obtained 19,000," Madduma Bandara highlighted.

"The results indicate that the NPP will not be able to win even a Pradeshiya Sabha in the future," he added.

Is it backfiring Sunday, 27 October 2024 07:08 PM

Very true. It also shows that majority ie., 53% in SL are corrupt. After the presidential election, having seen the kind of action AKD is taking, this majority is highly concerned that they could be soon indicated. So obviously they do not wish NPP coming to power. Therefore, they are now switching their votes to the old corrupt regimes. I think AKD should not have rushed matters untill after the 14th November and should have been selective.

Worry about the SJB vote... it was only 27% and is heavily declining. Better worry about your own problems first...

My calculation shows the NPP vote rose 10% to 47.6%, not declining.

Can you count the number of seats won by each party? How many seats did SJB win? Are you the majority? Get a child to calculate. You are exposing your stupidity. More and more for victories for NPP with God's blessings.

Hudson Monday, 28 October 2024 10:59 AM

but there is a truth, if all opposition gets together they can form a government because NPP is so over confident as they have no plans of joining with anyone. keeps calling everyone 'hora' Except them.

NPP really wants to change this election formula when they draft the new constitution? Are they now a major party to abolish proportional representation?

Individually the NPP has won while the others individually have lost - is that not a better way to put it. Any donkey will know that the total losses will be more than the winner's achievement

True. But has SJB gained? Always SJB approach is to talk about other parties. By the way, did you respond to Damitha calls?

What has happened to your beloved Pohottu! No seats - 3 came through the Satan JRJ Pin chance! Same to Aliya; SJD etc! You are no where near people heart! Time to pack and go home. Do not ask any pensions as poor people are suffering due to your excellent work during Myna! I've never heard you are talking against Myna, Pina or Pambaya! Tell us 10 reasons why people should vote all these All Hora parties!

True. Now npp at elpitiya pradehsiya Sabha will need the support of opposition party to pass any bill. If any government member gets absents the budget may even get defeated. Normally the popularity of winning party should be high as he has mentioned but this time the popularity has not gone with the winning party as expected. NPP will not get even a simple majority at parliament election. If opposition unites then npp may not even able to form a government.

Nimal Monday, 28 October 2024 06:48 AM

lol, can he count? That is the first test. 15 seats is not small. If you think 2 is very big, you have a problem. Then again, no one is surprised SL still have politicians with such illogical thinking. Even more surprising is some SL people still vote for them. As they say, change takes time!

Mr Bandara and SJB! You didn't notice the other formula? Total votes - Others votes = SJB 36000 - 29000 = 7000 (SJB) Are you happy with your party performance? Mind your business first.

You better work out the percentage and sit with Sajith. AKD and his Team will perform well and win the confidence of the masses and never be shaken for another ten years. By the time, you are no more.

Bimsara Perumpuli Monday, 28 October 2024 11:56 AM

As NPP % on valied vote is less than 50% they should get only 14 members this is my openion.

Wait till 14th Nov. I wonder what he will say after that. He has to find a different line. Only if he is around. Ever wondered what happened to Range Bandara? Vanished to thing air.

Good on you Bandara. You sure have a very intelligent brain. After the 14th of next month you can say the same thing.

This fellow had no guts to contest in the coming General elections. He should know that Alpitiya is just a part of Bentara-Elpitiya electorate. How can he analyse the results based on Presidential elections.

Patriot Monday, 28 October 2024 02:46 PM

"On 14th Nov, people will vote NPP who did not vote before " , so will gain more than 75% across the country. No doubt on that. Lets be relaxed.

Joseph Monday, 28 October 2024 02:51 PM

I am not a SJB supporter, but what he state is correct. The voter percentage of NPP has dropped by 2% with in one month., whether percentage of other parties has reduced is immaterial
