Counting of ‘manape’ votes saw much excitement and commotion marked by scuffles and arguments outside most counting centers.

At the Colombo Kachcheri, several red-faced candidates from both main parties called for recounts. Meanwhile, a scuffle broke out outside a counting centre in Kurunegala where the protagonist was a former Ministerial one. The scuffle continued until the arrival at the scene of security personnel from a special unit, they say.

A fair candidate at a counting centre in Sabaragamuwa had broken down in tears on hearing of her ‘manape’ result. Certain disappointed candidates also had tried to stage a sit-in opposite this counting centre as a mark of protest against the results announced.

Only comrades of the Bell party have won kudos from election observers for steering clear of ‘manape’ – related untoward incidents, they say.
