The United National Party (UNP) said today they would secure a landslide victory at the parliamentary election similar to the UNP election victory in 1977.

Colombo District candidate and Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe said they have a huge advantage at the election because of the nature of the candidates fielded by the UPFA.

“UPFA has fielded a number of rapists, drug peddlers and fraudsters from their nomination list and it is a huge advantage for our party,” he told the media after handing over the party nominations.

Mr. Rajapakshe was accompanied by UNP candidates Ravi Karunanayake and Rosy Senanayake. (Darshana Sanjeewa and Lahiru Pothmulla)

Wijedasa may be on drugs himself to come out with such a statement

By now whole country knows how corrupt the previous UPFA govt. has been. Further Rajapassas are trying to bring back family rule by getting brothers, sons, cousins to contest. People are fedup and they will give UNP an unprecedented victory.
