- Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse this morning conceded defeat to the pro-US opposition candidate Maithripala Sirisena in yesterday’s presidential election. Rajapakse reportedly left his official residence, Temple Trees, and stated through a spokesman that he will facilitate a smooth transfer of power.
Overall results are to be announced this afternoon, but initial figures indicate Sirisena received around 51.25 percent of the votes counted. Some 75 percent of the 15 million eligible voters cast ballots.” (From WSWS.org)
With the first indication of defeat Prime Minister Mahinda, packed his bags and ran to his home at Medamulana.
The more President Trump tries his tricks to linger longer. the more does he boost the image of our Prime Minister as a true democrat.

In fact, democracy in Sri Lanka is far more better than that of many Western countries, especially the U.S.A. The Western powers, always interfere in the internal affairs of the third world countries and try to manipulate the outcome of the elections in favour of their choice of candidates!
