Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa had been rejected only once unlike Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe who had been rejected 28 times by the people, the National Freedom Front (NFF) said today.

The party rationalised their call to urge the former President be nominated as UPFA Prime Ministerial candidate.

“Technically, people have not rejected Mr. Rajapaksa. They are still demanding his return to politics but we can’t see people requesting President Maithripala Sirisena to stay in office. Also, the Prime Minister had been rejected 28 times by the people,” Deputy Chairman of the party Piyasiri Wijenayaka said. (Darshana Sanjeewa)

This 1 defeat is worth a 100 by Ranil.

He can go on losing now on for ever for he would be kicked out soon by SLFP and UPFA

people who support the yahapalakayas and voted for maithrii are blind to the realities of life.

It really should be the other way around. You have to change yr farsighted to nearsighted sadly.

Piyasiri Is Talking Rubbish. Mahinda Was Knocked Out In The 1st Round, But Ranil Is Still Strong After 28 Rounds.
