Quote “The Commonwealth Observer Group commend that\u00a0the election was credible and the final outcome reflected the will of the people of Sri Lanka. In a press briefing held today The Chairperson Dr.George Abela mentioned that the General Election held on last Monday was a democratic election and the environment of the election was calm and peaceful compared to elections held in the recent past”.<\/p>\n

I am not sure how the election observers can say this when the President my3\u00a0created massive\u00a0confusion in the mind of the voting public \u00a0first by sacking the two General Secretaries of the SLFP and the UPFA on Aug 14 Friday at 3:00 pm just before the election.<\/strong>\u00a0This was during the period where there is supposed to be no electioneering activity. It was against the Election Commissioners rules as well as the SLFP and UPFA party constitutions.\u00a0Then on the eve of the election on Aug 16 he\u00a0<\/strong>has sacked 13 members from the Central Committee of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP).\u00a0The President in his capacity as the Chairman of the SLFP has sent a letter to the Elections Commissioner informing him of the removal and a list of the new 25 members of the Central Committee, a source from the Presidential Secretariat said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200b\u00a0<\/strong>This again is against the Election Commissioners rules and the constitution of the two parties.\u00a0By his action he created a confusion in the mind of the voting public about the UPFA.<\/p>\n

\u00a0It appears though he is supposed to be the leader of the party he was acting in a manner inimical to the party interests favoring the UNP.\u00a0 This is a traitorous act by any measure and one can judge the calibre of the man by these actions. All those in favor of Yahapalanaya should take note of these actions of my3 and decide if these are the actions a just man would do.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In my opinion the Election Commissioner must declare the election null and void and have fresh elections. The two parties must vote my3 out as the leader and elect someone they can trust. \u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n

THIS SHOWS HOW DANGEROUS THE PRESIDENCY IS IN SMALL PLACE LIKE SRI LANKA. IT IS LIKE A KNIFE WHICH CAN SLASH\/KILL AS WELL AS SOMETHING WHICH CAN CUT VEGETABLES ! WE SHOULD CONSIDER REMOVING THE PRESIDENCY AS REV. SOBITHA, CHAMPIKA, REV. RATHANA, AND JVP WANTED IN THE FIRST PLACE.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

WE SAW THE GOOD AND THE BAD IT CAN DO IN SRI LANKA.\u00a0 PRESIDENT MAHINDA RAJAPAKSE HIS POWERS TO GOOD PURPOSE FOR ALL IN LANKA, WHILE CBK USED IT FOR LETTING RANIL W SIGN THE\u00a0DISASTROUS\u00a0AGREEMENT WITH LTTE IN 2002. A STUPID MAN\/WOMAN AS PRESIDENT CAN DESTROY THE COUNTRY VERY FAST.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
