Extending President’s term - will explain on Monday: Range Bandara
Colombo, May 30 (Daily Mirror)- United National Party (UNP) General Secretary Palitha Range Bandara said today he will explain on Monday his proposal of extending the terms of the President and Parliament by two years.
"On Tuesday I talked about extending the term of the President and Parliament through a referendum. Many have come up with various remarks on it. I will hold a media conference on Monday June 3rd and come up with a detailed explanation on what I said," he told the media today.
"I will respond to all questions on that day, " he added.
When asked as to why he did not make a statement today as he assured earlier, Range Bandara told Daily Mirror that he only wanted to inform about the media briefing he was planning on Monday.

If SJB wins, the same trend will continue - they represent the same political culture. Piyano and Puthano..

@Namal; If they are of the same political culture, then why should there be a different party? Ridiculous statement in every sense.

@Man In fact Puthano is a throwback from 1970s and 80s. Just listen to what he talks - you will realise it. Country and people's thinking have moved on while he is stucked in his father's time and talking style

@ Dr. Saman; Because Ranil could not win any election and there was no democracy in the UNP to allow the most popular which now protects rogues and thieves. That's why the UNP dropped to one National List MP.

@ Namal; He talks of modern technical development and neither selling assets for commissions nor borrowing money nor getting money from expatriates. More than the speeches his tangible action matters while being in the opposition unlike any other. That's the gauge to make the right decision.

@ Dr. Nishan; Hon. DS studied up to the 4th standard but he was a gigantic person in SL. Read the history about him. And unlike any other opposition leader / member he produces tangible results that you don't understand as you wear coloured glasses and not possible to see the difference. It's your plight.

True 17.5 million Basil approved, and Mahinda paid from his looted funds. This idea was given by Basil to Range Bandara. (if it succeeds, Range will join SLPP) this is also a mutual understanding.

Bandara, we got to know you received 22 million to talk and stop the elections. This is Mina Rajapakshes' plan for them to survive in the Parliament for another two years.

The Prez and PM have both given assurances about the elections. Chapter closed. Media guys don't waste your time, money and energy by attending that conference. Boycott it. Let him hear his own voice. We are not interested.

Constitution stopped mattering when LG polls were given up on Thursday, 30 May 2024 09:06 PM
Constitution has no power to force polls. For LG polls, the Election Commission cited it, and Supreme court tried to use law to make LG poll happen. Again, if necessary those in power can disrupt democracy again. Public really has to overthrow the Constitution itself by force of revolution to get future for next generation.

Who is Range Bandara? I know now after reading the above news item that he is general secretary of the UNP but what has that to do with the term of the President which is laid out in the law .Someone should explain to him and not publish this stuff.

Sri Lanka can only end the absurdities in politics if it catapults the current ruling caste of politicians out of government responsibility and parliament!!! People like Bandara are characterized by their absolute insignificance and their political stupidity, which they repeatedly make clear through their public appearances and statements! The elections can end all of this once and for all

Range come with bullet proof suit before you express your explanations. For the sake of few millions you are bound to explain rubbish. Your life is important Bandara than your bull shit statement, then RW or Basil will not come to help you.

Range Bandara, so Monday be prepared and come to the studio no one is interested anyway because it will never work. Are you going to return 17 million to Basil or run away with the money?
