According to the President's Media Division (PMD), the key focus of the meeting was ensuring security during the election process.

Topics discussed included providing support to the Election Commission, securing the safety of candidates and polling stations, and maintaining law and order after the election, all while avoiding any disruptions to daily life.

What right does the President have to call the National Security Council without the Election Commissioner being present? This is an election period! Is Ranil planning another Aragalaya if he loses the election?

Unless lohottuwa or cylinder goons do anything, it will be peaceful

Elections-related security matters should be handled no one else but the EC, and only by the EC. There should be a clear separation of National security affairs and EC affairs. President is a major candidate, yet he's the head of the security council. And the defence minister is a major player of a political party, yet all the security forces are under his purview. This is a huge contradiction which should be immediately addressed.
