You should also nominate a new party leader if you wish to contest the next General Election, otherwise the result is likely to be even more worse than this time.

So basically sjb will have only 3 because they will have to give a slot each for its allies such as slmc and badurdeens party.

Preferential votes of the first candidates of each district of the SLMC, Rishad's, Digambarans, Dayasiri's, Dallas', etc., under the SJB must be considered and divide by the total valid votes of the SJB received and get the value. If it is less than 0.5, they don't deserve a member nominated / elected for them. Minority Muslim and Tamil members of the SJB under the SJB National list, too can be named so for the remaining. It will be fair and will not have disputes.

Please nominate Eran Wickremaratne through the national list. He is a decent human being with a great intelligent mind, well educated, with global exposure and respects every Sri Lankan irrespective of their race, religion, gender, financial standing, social standing , education etc.

Someone rejected by the people should never be given a slot.He should have got onto the national list if he is so qualified .Rejected means rejected. This is the type of politics that should be eradicated.

In this type of electoral process, there is nothing called defeated Candidate. There are only unelected candidates. They have a chance to be get elected if one elected member resigns or passes away. There are no negative votes. If one puts the argument that unelected candidate is a defeated candidate, the entire national list of the party becomes null and void. National List candidates should be also treated as defeated. How can a member in the National list be nominated on the aggregate votes obtained inclusive that of the unelected candidate. The ballots of the unelected candidate gives the opportunity to nominate the List MP. First chance should be given to the unelected Candidates, in National List Nomination. Myth on National list should be understood in proper light.

How many PVs he secured? It must be done considering the next candidate who won most PVs.Do not appoint those came from Pohottuwa.

Ensure not to nominate candidates who lost the election. We know then sadly likes of Eran and Hirunika will miss the opportunity. Unfortunately SJB must uphold the constitution … rule of law

if SJB is willing to engage in politics based on principles they should not nominate folks like Eran.. no matter how good he is if the people did not vote for him through their ballot that means he means nothing to the electorate.. and also please get rid of your leader too.. going forward he is no good.. rather than shouting in parliament in the times to come we will need a opp-leader who knows to play mind games and take the government to task when it matters the most.

Not Dullus , cross over captain and who had criticised Sajith. No ex SLPp should be nominated. Nominate people who have SJB from the beginning.
