BREAKING NEWS from ELPITIYA!
The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna has secured an LANDSLIDE Victory in the ELPITIYA Pradeshiya Sabha Election today October 11, 2015) securing ALL 17 Kotashayas!
Here are the Primary VOTE STATISTICS:
SLPP 23,372 (56.7%)
UNP 10,113 (24.6%)
SLFP 5,273 (12.8%)
JVP 2435 (5.91%)
TOTAL 41,193 (100%)
”
NOW for a “Crude Analysis” of “VOTER SENTIMENT” that I have been commenting about:
SLPP+SLFP “Gota Votes” 28,645 (69.5%)
UNP Sajith Votes” 10,113 (24.6%)
JVP “Anura Kumara Votes ” 2435 (5.91%)
TOTAL 41,193 (100%)
I realize that Elpitiya voters are NOT FULLY REPRESENTATIVE of ALL VOTERS in a Nationwide Presidential Election, but COMPARE these percentages to my PREDICTED VALUES of Votes for Gota(63%), Sajith(30%) and Anura-Kumara (4%) in the Presidentiasl Election.
Please accept this set of results as a CRUDE INDICATION of the VOTER SENTIMENT Nationwide TODAY in Sri Lanka!
To the INEPT CRIMINALS of the Yamapalanaya I say ……
“You CAN FOOL ALL of the PEOPLE SOME of the time,
You CAN FOOL SOME of the PEOPLE ALL of the time,
But, you CAN-NEVER FOOL ALL of the PEOPLE ALLof the time!”
A PEACEFUL & DEMOCRATIC Bastille Day has arrived!

97.3% of Elpitiya population is Sinhala. It is essentially a Sinhala only LG.
Both Rajapaksa party and UNP show a drop since 2011.
SLPP failed to win the crucial 58% required to defeat Sajith. SLPP needs 63% of the Sinhala vote to win 50%. Nowhere near. Now they are only 56%.
UNP crashed but UPFA voters hold the key. Don’t assume UPFA voters will vote for SLPP just because UPFA MPs join SLPP. It doesn’t work that way.
JVP showed it still holds 6% of the Sinhala vote.
Elpitiya final result.
SLPP 23372 – 56.3%
UNP 10113 – 24.3%
UPFA 5273 – 12.7%
JVP 2435 – 5.8%
SLPP failed to get Mahinda’s losing 58% of the Sinhala vote in 2015.
UPFA voters (not politicians) and Tamil and Muslim voters are the kingmakers at the presidential election.

@Dilrook
Will UPFA voters vote UNP ? Very littel. JVP , may be.
Therefore this is equivalent to not less than 65% to SLPP, practically speaking , not satistically). This is more than 63% required by them , according to your theory.

Dilrook,
Where in the world did you get the idea that SLPP alone is enough? Not from me, who said ALL Gota Votes from SLPP and UPFA will be MORE than ENOUGH!
That 58% does not apply to the SLPP alone, but to ALL Gota Votes from both the SLPP AND the UPFA which is MUCH MORE THAN ENOUGH at 69.5%!
I don’t know why you are STILL trying to DEBATE this issue!
The ONLY thing that both YOU and I ACCEPT is that ELPITIYA is NOT REPRESENTATIVE of Sri Lanka as a whole.
Let us WAIT for Nov 16th, for you to SEE that Voter Sentiment OVERWHELMINGLY supports Gota!!

Randeniyage,
I am surprised, and pleased, that you see what I see and ACCEPT the FACTS, contrary to Dilrook who is still harping on the 58% requirement he set on the SLPP, when matters is SLPP + UPFA votes counted together for Gota!

@Ananda-USA
People of Elpitiya (and other knew) SLPP was going to win there. So all possible SLPP voters voted for it. As for the others, they voted for various parties as they were not going to win anyway.
