Seven councilors of the Independent Group, which contested from the motor-bicycle symbol for the Maharagama Urban Council, said today that they would not resign as Councillors.

Seven Councillors out of the 25 elected from the Independent Group 2 for the Maharagama UC informed the Elections Commission today in writing that any document submitted by a third party to the Elections Commission or Returning Officer except from them were fake and illegal.

The letter submitted to the Elections Commission had been signed by Elected Councilors Lalith Gunawardane, Dilanthi Kusumsiri, Chamidu Lakshan Ranasinghe, Dhammika Nishanthi, Lakmini Nishanthi and Hansani Ruwanthi of Badalgama and Bobuwala Dewage Josepin of Asgiriya.

SAM Wednesday, 21 February 2018 09:38 AM

HOW FOOLISH ARE MAHARAGAMA VOTERS TO VOTE FOR AN INDEPENDENT PARTY WHILE THERE ARE SO MANY ALTERNATIVE PARTIES. POLITIC SLAVES.

AV Wednesday, 21 February 2018 12:18 PM

Totally Agreed.As a voter of Maharagama I feel a shame of my co-voters.

Terry Wednesday, 21 February 2018 01:06 PM

The voters of Maharagama have dug up their own grave by voting for an unknown independent group. The caliber and their incapability is there to be seen and I can already imagine the fate of Maharagama town with these type of people running the council

These guys look better and innocent than the thugs and roughs elected under pohottu party in other places. Maharagama people are not so stupid, they must have elected these innocent people after proper evaluation and knowing they can serve better.

The guy who is wearing a tie must be there driver or the assistant who is carrying the files.

DailyMirror, Dont be Evil.. Publishing these pictures with their full names, resident addresses and NID numbers along with their signatures seems pretty illegal. At least censor some parts. You should only report news, you are not allowed to violate privacy of the citizens.

People should have the freedom and elections should be recalled.
