SLPP Leader and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday said that he will make arrangements to get a two thirds majority created in parliament if the party did not receive it at the General Election.  

Speaking to journalists at the Medamulana D.A. Rajapaksa Maha Vidyalaya in Weeraketiya where he cast his vote, the Prime Minister however said he was positive of the party winning two thirds majority.  


“There is a need for a parliament with a two thirds majority. We are ready to face the economic challenges and have faced challenges more severe than these. We commend the people’s enthusiasm to vote in line with health guidelines,” he said.   


He said that the President’s programme which was approved by 6.9 million people, would be continued to be implemented following the General Election. 

 
Prime Minister Rajapaksa, Shiranthi Rajapaksa, SLPP candidates Chamal Rajapaksa and Namal Rajapaksa and their family members arrived at the polling centre to cast their votes.
