A. H. M. Fowzie has been appointed as a Member of Parliament from Colombo to fill the vacancy created by M. M. Rahuman who resigned from Parliament to contest for the Mayor of Colombo.

The announcement was made in an extraordinary gazette notification yesterday.

SJB MP Mujibur Rahman informed Parliament last week that he was resigning as an MP to contest for the Local Government election.

Fowzie, a former Minister and senior politician had secured 48,701 votes from Colombo District from the SJB during last General election. (Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)

These people should go hone and spend their last few years with their grand children instead of running the country economy which their grand children will have to fix .

I was really expecting this vacant position will be given to Ranjan Ramanayake accordingly, but it has gone a U-Turn, AHM Fonzie is an senior politician, but age wise he is I believe nearly 80's, What politic now must pray 5 times and spend their last few years with their grand children's, and do zikr,

Some people are commenting as if they are geniuses of the constitution. Fowzie comes in as per the constitution and not to whims and fancies of SJB or anyone. A shame to at least people with some education commenting like commen idiots.

Voters of the Colombo District have voted for him as the next preferred candidate on the list of SJB according to the constitution and no other person from outside the list can replace him.

This is politics during an election time, the replacement should belong to the same religion. If not a particular group will be upset? Even if that is the case, can’t we find a younger and capable person? Why this expired commodity?
