Colombo, October 25 (Daily Mirror)- A Fundamental Rights petition has been filed before the Supreme Court seeking an order preventing Ranjan Ramanayake from contesting the parliamentary election scheduled for November 14.

Mahinda Senanayake, an Independent candidate contesting the General Elections from the Gampaha District filed this petition challenging the Election Commission's decision to accept the nomination paper submitted by Ranjan Ramanayake to contest the upcoming General Elections from the Gampaha District.

The petitioner alleged that Ranjan Ramanayake is disqualified to be elected as a member of Parliament since he has been convicted by a three-member bench of the Supreme
Court on January 12, 2021, on charges of contempt of court and sentenced to four years rigorous imprisonment.

This petition has been filed through Attorney-at-Law Sampath Wijewardene.

Great! Thank you for filling the petition. We do not want this man to enter the parliament . He bribed judges according to his own voice recordings.

His credibility is questioned from all corners. Doubts how he can serve the public as an MP. The money he spends on the election, should be donated to the needy who cannot afford three meals a day and their children stopped attending school due to poverty. This will be appreciated by the public. Instead politics, he should concentrate on his acting in films.
