This is another clear example how lower Ranil will go for his own political ambitions. Mahinda Kahandawela still hated by the people who can remember for his actions and statements made after ill fated adventures with Pohottuwa goons, but Ranil joining hands with him crystal clearly shows future of Ranil’s forthcoming government policy - if he elected unfortunately.

Ranil will loose the election anyway. Advertising firms are trying to earn some good money from those who are sponsoring him same like how some are earning by promoting Malimawa. By the way Mervyn silva was given nomination by this same Ranil at last general election. So you will understand why he lost all major elections since 1999 except couple of elections. Even those elections unp was won because of the major breakaway groups from slfp lead governments.

It signals the end of the superpower of Rajapakshas' as Kaha consumed that superpower. He will join the winner of the Presidential election, shortly, if elections held.

This shows the level of support the SLPP has at grassroot level. The UNP too dose not have any support at grassroot level. This was his only option ?

Need a Clean Slate Of Younger Professionals Wednesday, 03 July 2024 12:33 PM

The people despise the fella and yet they take him in! What are they thinking? Anyways, hope the voters wil reject those who are currently in power and those who have been elected previously as most can’t run the country in these challenging times. Need a clean slate of younger professionals to take over the running of this dynamic country which has so much potential to thrive.

One vote added to the depleted vote base of the party which has plunged the country to a debt trap until 2028.

UNP has become a house of thieves, corruption kings and anyone who has no respect for the laws of the country.

But then he is accepted by the highest is the disappointment. This shows, even though there are Sri Lankans with high levels of education, their knowledge, actions and logical thinking can never change. A yakko will always be a yakko, no matter how ever much you educate him or make him civilized. This act of Ranil accepting this low level fellow on a podium shows the amount of influence and clout this low level fellow has on this President.

UNP by this act, just lost at least 50,000 good honorable votes and in return obtained 150,000 votes of thugs, corrupt bastards and hench-aiya's.

Like Mahinda Rajapaksa changed SLFP supporters to PA, very soon PA will do the same thing to UNP. If Ranil is kicked out, then, what is left to call UNP.
