The National People’s Power (NPP), led by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, is projected to get a two-thirds majority in Parliament based on the number of seats won by the party.

This marks the first time a single party has achieved this under the Proportional Representation system.

Since 1978 a tough call, can the NPP rewrite the Constitution? Improve on JRs words to "roll the electoral map". Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Congratulations. Let's forget the past, and be positive. We asked for change, there will be a positive change. At least we have got rid of the corrupt rotten eggs.

NPP should learn from the past useless politicians. There is a saying that if a king feels he is not accountable for his actions, he will get destroyed by himself.

NPP you got what you hoped for now do NOT let the people down... there is no turning back from this. The last time the people put their faith in a party - it was a disaster that lead SL into a pit. All corrupt politicians and individuals should be subjected to the full capacity of the Law

Congratulations president AKD PM Harini and the Malimawa team. 22m sri lankans have 1,149 000 government employees to serve them. We look forward with a lot of hope to see a real difference in productivity and efficiency from the Public service and solid decision making for nation building. Blessings to all.

Only Digamadulla district final results pending. Why the delay when all others announced

Unbelievable. Except Batticaloa NPP has won all districts. Ethnic, religious and other tribal boundaries have been shattered. It took 76 years to happen. Shows poorly on islanders who were politically divided by petty issues. Better late than never. This unity itself is a win for all.

This is a victory for the people of Sri Lanka, not just for the NPP. From now on, the NPP has a huge responsibility to follow through on their promises. Let's hope they can rewrite history.

The first amendment the NPP will bring in will be to abolish the proportional representation system and bring back the 'first past the post' system. But then, on the long run, it will be detrimental to their chances of re-election after five or six or whatever number of years.

Nonsense. JVP/NPP have to address the full enactment of 13th amendment or else introduce a new constitution as they promised even though there is no manifesto. Now they possess more than enough power and maestro in politics and economics.

UNP shouldn't have used JVP to peddle lies. Look where that strategy went.

What else can you expect Friday, 15 November 2024 04:00 PM

I'm sure there will not be beggars on the roads in Sri Lanka from now on. The country will be extremely beautiful wherever you look around. We will have to bring in maids and labourers from neighboring poor countries to work because everyone will be rich in this country. The current government has promised a පොහොසත් ලස්සන රටක්.

Why dislikes for this post? Isn't that the truth? If the country is going to be rich, that will be the end result. Why get angry when reminding the promises made? I don't understand.
