The ruling United National Party (UNP) led by Puttalam District MP Nasmi Navas obtained 10 votes out of the 97 seats, while Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) had only been able to obtain one vote.

MP Sanath Nishantha led the SLPP at the election.

The election was held between fourteen co-operative divisions in Puttalam.

True MR had spent 10.5 million for this election for 86 members of SLPP gangsters.

What is this joke of contesting and appointing members from national political parties for Coop elections? What has Coop management got to do with national politics? This procedure for Coop and even for Local authorities is utterly ridiculous

But still there is plenty for people to be disgruntled about Yahapalanaya and that is a matter for concern.

Come on, I don't think anyone would throw good money over a dead end election. One sure way to find out is to have the LG elections.
