Though a novice to Parliament his political maturity is commendable.

He is a man with a backbone.

Good choice, one of the best to do the job, he will be the 2nd Deputy Speaker who can handle all 3 languages. The late film legend Gamini Fonseka was so fluent in handling all 3 languages. anyways anyone except one in the parliament will be a better choice than a bookie.
