PM Ranil, watch your back someone waiting to stab you from behind.

shan sukumar Friday, 21 August 2015 02:29 PM

good political culture!

Waco Friday, 21 August 2015 02:41 PM

RW and MR will be together when it is necessary.

Sri Lankan Friday, 21 August 2015 02:47 PM

No point in being humble after getting tumbled!!

KaluSudha Friday, 21 August 2015 03:00 PM

Must be thinking he is still the Prez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dayawthie Friday, 21 August 2015 03:21 PM

This is great to see this happening in Sri Lanka.Lankawata Budhu saranai.

sam Friday, 21 August 2015 03:23 PM

The number one crook Sri Lankan political history has seen. If he has won the presidential election Maithree will be in an underground jail now.

Yawn Yawn Friday, 21 August 2015 03:25 PM

Are you serious. go and get some help... Mental help. I can assure there there is nothing beautiful here. Ranil take care....Dont trust MR

gonawalarallage Friday, 21 August 2015 03:32 PM

The country is heading for a bright and prosperous future, indeed.

Harith Friday, 21 August 2015 03:35 PM

If not for MR, Ranil would not have been the party leader by now. MR protected him when there was conspiracy within the party to topple him from party leadership.

Kathir Friday, 21 August 2015 12:45 PM

M.Mr Is also a humain being and it Is so beautiful to see him attendions this ceremoney. I think that he was abused by some of his Ministers.

Premalal Friday, 21 August 2015 05:42 PM

Better hurry up. He is 70 years already. Age catches up even with dictators.

Premalal Friday, 21 August 2015 05:44 PM

Great con artist. You can ask the tsunami victims who are still waiting for their houses.

clueless Friday, 21 August 2015 06:10 PM

No winners and losers now. Please give some respect to MR after all he has done some good to the nation. Let the law of the land take over from now. Good luck RW.

Harsha Friday, 21 August 2015 06:30 PM

with all these support, Ranil could not win

FM Friday, 21 August 2015 07:11 PM

if MR is closer to people then why did the percentage of his party gone down so much compared to the last election ?? think proper Waco ..

harin Saturday, 22 August 2015 11:43 AM

I think this will be a good duo of braves and bravery.

karu Saturday, 22 August 2015 07:57 PM

Once bitten twice shy. I am wrong. Twice bitten no shy

Harry Wednesday, 26 August 2015 12:03 PM

nefarious elements are on either side and also with hidden agendas leading behind the screen

Bawani Vishvanathan Wednesday, 26 August 2015 04:16 PM

when i go through the above comments feel so sorry for our own Sri Lankans... cant understand what grudge they have against the former president.. what ever said and done we have a country to live in peace and harmony .. we the people who suffered during the war not the people who comment like made dogs.

Sanu Friday, 21 August 2015 11:08 AM

That is really shows he is a good politician.

Venura Friday, 21 August 2015 10:44 AM

All the very best and may the noble triple gems bless our Prime Minister, Hon. Ranil Wickramasinghe. Please be careful of nefarious elements in the caliber of MR.....

max Friday, 21 August 2015 10:47 AM

What a humble human being MR is, after all!

Aba Jayasekera Friday, 21 August 2015 10:56 AM

If looks could kill RW would have been dead already

Lejjai.Gedara hitiyan nam Athigaru hitapu janadhipathi neda.

Lakmal Hewaweegama Friday, 21 August 2015 11:03 AM

What a nice little dictator. He should maintain his tyrant image instead of being the benevolent liberator of the country.

Venura Friday, 21 August 2015 11:04 AM

Humble???? It is his shrewdness trying to re-build his tarnished image.... That will never be restored....

jith Friday, 21 August 2015 11:05 AM

My humble prediction is that MR will make a strong comeback with right ingredients to become true leader. The times in the opposition is the best grooming one ever gets, through reflection and objectivity. That plus his visionary, strong character is the best the country would get. There wont be a SLFP, its committing harakiri, the party is where MR is.

garawi Friday, 21 August 2015 11:06 AM

Be cautious of MR getting too close! He is good at buying the MPs outright!

garawi Friday, 21 August 2015 11:07 AM

Humble one has to be when in power and NOT when he loses power!

Umair Friday, 21 August 2015 10:40 AM

I feel dead

hari Friday, 21 August 2015 11:10 AM

What stupid people we have in Srilanka :-)

Waco Friday, 21 August 2015 11:10 AM

MR is more closer to people.

BuffaloaCitizen Friday, 21 August 2015 11:46 AM

MR is closer to persons who are interested in personal gain and a notorious attitude for living and wasting public money.

Yoosuf Friday, 21 August 2015 11:47 AM

RW got more votes than MR

BuffaloaCitizen Friday, 21 August 2015 11:48 AM

Once the FCID goes through everything, I wonder whether he will be brave enough to wear that clean white dress.

Marlon Friday, 21 August 2015 11:59 AM

I didnt see MR clap for mou

Philip Friday, 21 August 2015 12:24 PM

As long as there are gullible people like you, crooks like Ali Baba

Anton Friday, 21 August 2015 12:42 PM

Buffaloacitizen, I would rather say WHITE JUMPER

Dr Rifai Friday, 21 August 2015 12:42 PM

This is a great move. reconciliation is better for Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan politicians should move forward. old day politics is no longer viable.
