Colombo, Dec. 18 (Daily Mirror)- People should give the incumbent President Ranil Wickremesinghe the mandate to govern the nation for 12 more years, UNP MP Vajira Abeywardana said today in the coming year.
“Sri Lanka would become a powerful nation if Mr. Wickremesinghe is allowed to run the nation for 12 more years from 2024. If not, the nation will end up with destruction once again,” the MP told a briefing.

May be he is thinking SL is his father's property.Ranil was given an opportunity to cover the balance period of Gota who was chased away by people. Has Vajira gone to school or he knows politics

What a joke !! The appointment of Deshabandu Tennakoon, a Police Officer with a TAINTED Career as the acting IGP is ample enough to refrain voters from voting for Ranil at the next Presidential elections.

after 18 months Ranil has not released a long term plan to run the country without drastic change for 25 years (till 2048). So he has failed to plan. which means we are planning to FAIL. He needs to step down or give someone who can plan for 25 years.

As Sri Lankans, we need to scan the political landscape to understand who is there in the system with the right intellect to take the country out of this mess. Global landscape is bad hence we need a smart, honest and authoritative leadership. LKY of Singapore was such a man. While Ranil is not the ideal man, look around and see if there is someone better on these qualities. The comments here reflect the sad realities of the voter base we have in SL. Finger pointing and insulting is the thinking of our citizens. Doom and gloom awaits a country with intellectually handicapped voters!

Absolutely right! This is the same mentality, (i.e. wrong assumptions) that made our voters elect the former regime just on the merits of winning the war when the underlying ground reality was far from positive.

1. Let Ranil first ask for a year's mandate as an MP, never mind President. 2. Will you, Vajira Abeywardena, promise you won't lurk around looking for a meaningless political appointment with a fat payout at people's expense.

When you read what a politician like this Mr. Vijira makes in terms of "witty" suggestions and when you consider that there are a considerable number of such politicians in Sri Lanka, then you don't have to wonder where it is The country today stands domestically and internationally!!! This type of politician, who only pursues his personal selfishness and interest in power, has ruined the country and caused untold suffering and hardship to the people!!! The people of Sri Lanka have learned the lessons from this shabby and corrupt politics, they will make an absolute break with these political thugs in the coming elections and hand over their future into better hands!!! With Vijira, an opportunist and political dream dancer with little spirit, one wonders how he even made it into parliament!???

Of course he’s correct. Unelected master debating president can govern the my country till 2048. He is the greatest unelected master debater we ever had. We need to come together in front of the parliament to master debate him till he becomes immortal leader we ever had. We must build unelected master debating president statue in front of the parliament to see how much work he has been doing over 50 years on his double bed. Excellent news normal folks are struggling to walk . We need to build his statue without his trousers to see how much internal work has been done over 50 years. God bless my country.

THE MASSES AND COUNTRY WILL BE STUCK IN THE SINK HOLE, THE BLOOD SUCKERS WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THE LAP OF LUXUARY, THE RICH WILL GO ABOUT THEIR LIVES EDUCATE THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AND SEND THEM OVERSEAS, WHILE THE POOR WILL CONTINUE TO SUFFER. WAKE UP CITIZENS THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANGE TO TRULY MAKE A CHANGE IN THE COUNTRY'S POLITICAL SYSTEM AND WITH TIME GET THE COUNTRY ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY.
