Attempting to unite all like-minded political forces will be a distinct advantage.\u00a0 Similary it is imperative to identify \u00a0reasons why those forces such as JVP and SLFP are now turning the tide towards SLPP. Winning General Election or Presidential Election with political Kangaroos such as JVP and SLFP will only provide some oxygen for them in their last journey towards political isolation.<\/p>\n

There had been ample opportunities in the past 4 years for them to co-operate and work with President Mahinda Rajapakse. Instead they have done everything at their disposal to destroy the Leader who saved the Nation.<\/p>\n

Now suddenly risen from the grave,\u00a0 the Clayton\u2019s friendship with them should be kept at arms length relationship.\u00a0 Years of hardwork of Mr Basil Rajapakse cannot be left at the mercy of others.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The SLPP candidates will win either elections, with or without JVP, SLFP.\u00a0 President Sirisena probably will be benefitted in the long run to be with MR.<\/p>\n

The campaign need to be started with Mr Gotabaya Rajapakse taking lead in the May Day Rally and extensive grass root level campaign thereafter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SLPP must give its preference to the Presidential Election ahead of General Election. The column one on the following table\u00a0 with asterisks\u00a0 indicate the targeted areas to ensure victory:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
